I did buy my car based on the book mpg, claimed mpg, which was the polar opposite to the RX8 231 I was running, I was getting around 20mpg, when I first got the Astra I was a bit hacked off at only getting around 44mpg, which when you factor in the Astra cost me £8,000 more than the RX8, I could have covered a lot of miles in the RX8 for £8K !
But, now having got used to the Astra I get around 52mpg, which saves me on fuel outlay each month
I cant say I am obsessed with its MPG, but, I do know my journey to work at 530am is a lot more economical than coming home, the roads are lovely and empty going, so I can cruise along at my own pace, coming back home, its full of the blue rinse brigade who are quite happy to bumble along at 43mph, whatever the road speed limit or weather circumstances!
