Spoke to my local SEAT dealership this evening about the continuing woeful economy. He said that it was unlikely that I would see better fuel economy until the car has done 10-15k mile, that said they are checking it for anything obvious that might be wrong.
Mine has just clocked over to 18k miles. No change in MPG. Biggest MPG improvement I can get it to use a fuel additive such as Millers or Archoil DMAX. That gave me about 5mpg increase and smoother/quieter engine.
Dont think many mass produced engines will be run in on a dyno before being built into the vehicle. That would cost way too much. Most engines are hot and/or cold tested but only for minutes not the hours at full load that a full break in and pass off (BIPO) takes.

'Little steps' was probably the real reason I went for a 150. This is my first 'sporty car'. My MKII 140 was pretty nippy so I figured 150 would be a reasonable improvement. I also did a quick meerkat search for insurance on a 184 and thought it a bit steep from what I'm used to, having said that I've not insured the 150 for a year yet ( but that's another thread altogether), so I test drove the 150 and loved it. I'm not a massive petrol head, I buy outright and tend to keep my cars for 6 or 7 years.all in all it's a great package of performance and economy, Don't know why you'd buy the 150 version really...
