Average 25-28 mpg with my auto so I would expect a manual to return less. That's been the case for the last three years. You can achieve lower and higher figures than that, and I've done so over short and long runs, but generally the figure I've given is my average. That's with premium fuels, as it has only had the occasional tank of 95 RON when I've needed to fill up where there's no alternative.
thanks for the prompt repsonse....as I expected....Its making my decision more difficult. I had hoped circa 35.....but nayway thanks mate.
