does make a bit of sense, the fez was a 4cyl were as the satria is a three rite? which means the engine is working harder guzzling more fuel plus its probs a bit heavier than the fez and not a big leap in engine size.

check google/ autotrader for mpg stats

same for my old saxo 1.1 put 30 in a week got bout 200mile astra 1.6 20 quid a week 234mile mad or wat

Could be because its a older engine and they are just simply not as economical as newer engines.

the induction kit is now off and the engine feels better when sat at lights and its allready seems better on fuel, i know you tend to put foot down a little more but last week i drove it normall avery day to my training course i was on and it did 82 miles on £40 now thats fucking bad so thats another reason i took it off
