The 180 can be good on fuel on long motorway or dual carriageway journeys, or if you keep the revs below 3k.

Urban mpg: 20.0
Extra urban mpg: 41.4
Combined mpg: 29.7

Owning a 180 means you don't take notice of mpg. It is one of those cars that when driven smooth will return +30 and when the horns protrude expect alot lower! I have no idea what mine does now but when I used it for commuting it averaged between 30-35 mpg on a smooth run with a few blats.

Take it that was minus horns mode.

Yes Peter, horns retracted for those figures

IMO if your hoping for it to be ecomomical, i'd stick with your 110 or get a 120 maybe, they go pretty well. If your buying a 180, i'd forget about the economy side of things for now. I put about 45 pounds of fuel in everytime i fill up and i get about 285 miles to the tank. Thats high 20's in MPG. Thats mixed motorway and town driving.
