Recently bought a seat ibiza sport 1.4 petrol, and it seems my ibiza doesn't like low revs, for exmaple when driving down the motorway on 5th gear at 60mph my MPG seems to be less than when driving at 70mph (yes I am going by on board computer). Driving at 80 mph gives me more MPG compared to 70 and 60.
If I can remember correctly driving at 60mph on 5th gives me approx 35mpg
70mph = 42MPG
80mph = 48MPG
(these are just approx figures)
can't seem to make sense of this. am I relying on the computer too much and its showing inaccurate information ?
also if you've owned a 1.4 seat or VW i'd like to hear your thoughts on fuel economy, not sure if its just my ibiza but seems to drink petrol like there is no tomorrow on short trips.
