Just a quick one, i have a 95 1.3 CL, 107,000 miles, costs about 35 pounds to fill up and only gets about 225 miles off a full tank. Is this about average for a polo of this age?

yepp
just try to fill your tank than just 10as worth its better generally
i have 1.6 nd do bout 250 miles+ a week nd i pt 40-50
it also depends on drivin style like in traffic nd revs etc.

but yeh its fine mate

Oh right cool, yeh i have tried to drive in higher gears sitting at about 1 and 1/2 to 2000 revs, think i was used to a better mpg cause i use to drive a saxo which did about 330 miles on the same cost!

My 1.6 (1997) cost's around £35 to fill up and i can get 350 miles out if it but on an average around 300.

As has already been mentioned, it depends on a lot of factors. I've also got a 1.3 6n & because I do mostly short journeys to & from work, the car hardly warms up & I get 30ish to the gallon if i'm lucky! On a longer run I can easily get 40+

oh right, thats probably my problem, im often doing journeys only 5/6 miles eachway to my sixthform, and only really do about 15 miles eachway at weekends to work.

next time you fill tank up to the max just put in some redex fuel treatment, its only a couple of quid and helps petrol to get through engine quicker n tht
