Do I or Don't I

Driven sensibly, my 180 does roughly the same mpg as my old 1.6 ford escort. It's the 'sensibly' bit that makes all the difference.

My first car was a Lada 1200 - my father had it from new and I took it over when it was 6 or 7 years old and ran it until it died when it was 11 or 12.
We kept extensive MPG records and in that whole time it always acheived 20MPG, even with the twin choke webber, janspeed exhaust and 15" Lancia Beta wheels and never bettered 16.7sec 0-60.
