69mpg from a 1.2 K12!?

[gingernut]

Hi all, just bought one of these last week and I’ve reset the trip computer before going on a motorway trip. Over 100 miles doing between 55-60mph, it recorded 69mpg, way over the official numbers. That seems a wee bit unbelievable for a 2008 car with 112,000 miles.

Is my trip computer talking rubbish?

Nope. You've just done its ideal journey. Now go about your normal driving and watch it plummet back to more normal numbers.

Add a benzine additive to the petrol and you car will run more efficiently and give you added MPG, and also offset the E10 petrol (90% petrol +10% ethanol ), which can be a problem for some motors.

It's possible, normal driving in the 1.2 gives around 50mpg.
