Mind you loads of pressure when I remove the fuel cap.
That is normal: in fact at the MOT the tester is listening for the hiss to prove the seals are ok. (The tank vent goes to the cannister by the engine and absorbs any fumes when standing, the cannister is purged to the inlet when the engine is running, and there is a one way valve to let air into the tank.)
Mine is rubbish on fuel too: I doubt if it does more than 25/26 MPG to work and back. My 200TDi LWB Landrover did low 30s on the same journey.[/quote]
I mostly get between 32 and 35 out of mine. It is the VVT model. Not sure if that makes much difference. I must admit though that off road I probably only get 18mpg.
My 2009 Jimny which has only done about 3000 miles does 34 mpg in the summer it drops to about 30 mpg during the winter when used on normal roads, it is standard except for some steel modular wheels but I have the same size of tyre as the standard wheels the only time I had a low 20s mpg was in the snow we had last year.
ive just calculated my mpg with motorway driving and i get no more than 26mpg . the only things ive done which could affect the mpg is a 3" lift and slightly bigger nobbly tyres. its still worth every penny though, especially in this snow !
mine is pants to £40ish to fill and get 190miles ish. i thought there were economical i was a bit gutted. it does the same as my old car which was a 2lt turbo! and that went a hell of a lot faster lol
