MPG figures for a 120

I'm in a dilema wether to get a cheap run around until a Mk2 ZS diesel turns up with the 180 body kit or get a 120 with the body kit as there's a few on the trader.

I was just wondering what MPG you 120 owners are getting?

I have a 180 i can get 27 to 30 mpg if i dont rev over 3grand but thats hard so i would say around the 25 mark to be more realistic

I normally get 35mpg out of mine that two A road runs of a 100 miles each and 150 miles of mixed mostly town driving. The best I ve had is 450 out of a tank (41.2mpg).

Cheers for changing the title.

I'm surprised at the how high the mpg figure is for the 120, as i was getting 45 out of my derv

All i need to do now is decide to get a 120 now or a crap rn around and wait for a derv
