Hi all
I'm driving a greentech 59ps SE citigo and I've noticed that I've been getting very very poor mpg. I tend to be soft with my accelerator around town though I do go at around an indicated 80 on the motorway (which according to my phone's gps is actually barely over 70mph). I've been rather confused as even with the best of attempts (no fast motorway driving, sticking to all speed limits) I've not been able to get over 54mpg (this is actual mpg based on running the tank from full to when the fuel indicator comes up and looking at how much petrol I put in rather than PID readout)
People seem to recommend shell v-power on various forums and against my better judgement I gave it a go. And so far, it's not yielded any better economy though I do admit the car seems to run smoother.
So I was wondering, do you think it's the steel rims causing such poor mpg? People with the greentech model on HonestJohn seem to be posting 65mpg. Surely steel rims won't reduce MPG that much? Or is it just that I need to do more fill ups with v-power to get all the old fuel residue out? Only been a couple of tanks with v power.
Thanks y'all
