In the owners handbook it gives typical fuel consumption for various models.
Years ago I was surprised that on a long run, my over 100,000 mile 1.7 gave more than 50 MPG. Indeed, at first I thought that the fuel gauge needle had stuck.
Only done short trips in my 1989 1.4, not sure what it's consumption is, but it's not disastrous.
Just added a scan of the stated fuel consumptions.
So it looks like over 50 MPG for a 1.7 is not unusual.
