Anonymous Unregistered A	Afternoon all, Seriously toying with the idea of getting a Coupe. Wondering if anyone know's what the mpg figures are for the Coupe range. Many thanks

The car has a 63 litre tank which is about 14 gallons and most people can report anything from 400 down to 200 which is 28 to 15 mpg. Most people with a mix of driving seem to average at about 280-320

I have a 20VT which I use at weekends for (rapid) pleasure mainly and I get about 330 miles from £60 full tank. If economy is your thing then you may be looking at the wrong kind of car. The 16na is a bit more frugal but not much.

I fill up regular at 360 miles, whether it needs it or not, usually gets around 50 litres (11 gallons). Neil Don't get no respect! Coupe Fiat 1994-2000 - an owner's guide <-- clicky!

Anonymous Unregistered A	Thanks for all the replies. As much as I'd like a turbo, NA may be more suitable for me. Do about 40 miles a day, mainly motorway. Retired from trackdays/santapod so am never in any real rush to warrant a fast car. Just pricing up a set up deep dish rims for when I find a car

I usually fill up at around 200 miles which is just above half a tank. I like to make sure i`ve got plenty of fuel on board in case of any major detours (which can happen in my area ).

Anonymous Unregistered A	I found tyre pressure makes a lot of difference fuel economy. I had recently swapped the wheels front to back on the Coupe, and forgot to reset the pressures when doing so. So ended up running front pressure (higher) on the back and rear pressure (lower) on the front for about a week before I notice how high fuel consumption had become. So it's well worth checking your tyres in case that's the reason your economy is poor.

Anonymous Unregistered A	I'm very sad and always work out my mpg (even if to see how low I can get it). In a year of mostly open road driving over 6k miles, but including 2 track days, my 16vt averaged 29 mpg. If you drive in town or race people, well......not so much. About 11 or less at a track day....

Anonymous Unregistered A	Just to confuse things, I get 24mpg on LPG on the daily motorway run (at sensible speeds). On the other hand, I know that you can expect to be 15% down on LPG anyway, and that things are likely to improve once I replace my slightly dodgy wheel bearings.
