@woodyratm Hi David! There's a few ways you can reduce your consumption. Firstly, I wouldn't be expecting the real optimum out of your car yet as it has only done 100 miles, and is still essentially running in. A lot of things can effect it such as tyre pressure, additional load, speed (a big one) and gear changes. If your used to doing 30mph in 3rd gear, try changing up slightly earlier. Speed wise, starting and stopping will increase your consumption, so if you do a lot of town driving you'll be filling up more often, likewise if you do a lot of motorway driving and giving it some speed, your MPG will be a lot less. What sort of MPG are you getting at the moment? ^MA
