So I have a 1.4 turbo auto (I know its an auto but I need one) which I have had for 3 weeks now. I didn't pay attention to the MPG for the first week as it was the fuel that came with the car so once I filled up a week later and reset the average mpg.
So I have driven it for 2 weeks and used a tank of fuel and done about 250 - 300 miles and the computer is telling me I am getting 27.5 mpg which I think is rather low. Now I do 20 mins to work in the morning 10 mins above 40 and 10 mins start stop max and on the way home its 20mins of back roads but most of the time about 40 - 60 6 miles to work and 9 miles home.
I do go for a drive once a week which is a total of 30 miles which again is 60mph.
The book figures are urban 32.8 extra urban 52.3 combined 42.8 now I know this is in ideal conditions and to expect a little less but I'm sure I should see 32-35 mpg for my combined travel.
The history on the car goes it was bought new in November 2013 and serviced on if first birthday then not till the dealer got the car in for sale. I bought it from a Vauxhall dealer and they assured me it was serviced with the book stamped by them dated a month prior to my buying the car it has only got 15900 on the clock so I wondering if there is anything I should check to see if it was actually serviced properly or what I should try to increase the mpg.
Any advice would be appreciated.
