Hi Lee, If its diesel it looks a bit low to me - are you using the cars mpg figures or have you worked them out yourself? Dash computer thingy is usually way out.
I get between 20 & 24 mpg around town. Up to 30 on longer journeys.
As said depends on how you drive and type of driving condition, the on board computer is not overly accurate so may be work doing it old school, brim the tank, doe some miles re brim and calculate your MPG
You should get high 20's to 30 on motorway a road cruising, and low 20's if this is mixed in with a lot of town driving.
