Thanks Joe, full tank doing about 430-450 miles. Driving normally combo of short and long 35.3 on average so its not too bad. Cursed with a heavy right foot i think. No matter how hard i try!

I am a new C180komp owner too... I found this thread as I am only getting 30 MPG on the car. I am rather a slow driver too. However most of my driving is short journeys to and from work.

Hi Pittsey! Welcome to the club!
I am finding with average driving its more realistic to get about 32mpg. I can get to mid to late 30s because I have a 40 mile commute 3 days a week. I dip under as I take the mrs to work about 4 miles away on my days off. I found the best way to improve mpg was sitting with the trip on the 20-40-60-80 mpg counter and keeping it as high above 60 as I can. With practice u can get around 35 +

35 is a fair shout, I am getting around that myself. Still more economical than the Astra convertible I had at 29 MPG

Can anybody help.. I've got a merc 1.6 blue eff sport I bought 10 days ago.. I filled up the tank approx £69 and I've returned a shocking 18.6 mpg and achieved 150 miles on half a tank. I haven't driven it rough etc just smooth gear changes at low revs... If this is the fuel consumption then I know I can't afford to run this car.. A little concerned too on what to.. It's got a full merc service history. 1 owner and mint condition so I'm a little puzzled at the consumption. Can anybody help... I am wishing now I'd bought the diesel auto
