Hi, I am looking to buy a 2008 1.2 petrol 110 bhp (3 cylinder turbo). I have driven diesels for years and have enjoyed the economy which come with these engines however with all the bad press diesels are getting these days and the threat from the government to discourage this fuel type, I am investigating the petrol version. Can anyone give me some idea of the true mpg this engine delivers. I do about 20 miles per day which is a mixture of crawling traffic and a few miles at 50 mph so it is a truly mixed journey.
The dealers seem to be deterring me from this engine and are pushing the diesel but I am not sure whether to take their advice as they may have surplus stock if other drivers are thinking the same way I am.
I thought I would come here for some honest feedback from real owners.
Can anyone help?
