Afternoon all,
What are people getting MPG wise?
I got the Adam as a second car for drives round town and short journeys and was hoping for something quite economical.
Only got through one tank so far but the average MPG is only about 33... what are others getting?

i do 20 mile trips to and from work and get 39/42
thats a adam slam 100hp 1.4

I'm hoping the MPG will improve after a few more tanks have gone through it.

Hi Alex, you might find this thread about the same issue useful: http://www.adamownersclub.co.uk/forum/mpg_topic198.html

I reset the MPG and for this last tank I'm currently averaging 27 MPG which is bloody awful! About 200 miles for a full tank! That's the Glam 1.4 not S/S.

What are others getting? Only 500 miles done but still shouldn't be that low...

6000 miles in and I'm getting about 42 in a 1.4 SS, but I don't use the SS that much. Even at the beginning I never got as low as you

This is one thing I'm scared off. I'm getting decent mileage from my current car that I'm part-xing, Fiat 500 TwinAir. 27mpg seems very poor, my SLK gives me around that. Is this mainly city driving?

Yeh city driving. The manufacturers number is 38 for urban so id expect at least 33... Going to take it for a few long drives and see what happens...
