#1: Pug 206 Xsi 1.6 16v - Millage question Author: Achillez, Posted: Thu Oct 25, 2012 6:46 pm ---- Hello all, I'm new to this forums and I'm hoping someone can help me.
I've got a 03 xsi 206, 1.6 16v ( 110BHP if I remember correctly ) and I think there's something wrong, With a full tank of fuel I only get 260-280 miles, I dont hammer the car at all, I drive normal, pretty much always in 5th, stick to speed limits. My clock on the dashboard says I'm getting 40 to the gallon, but when I work it out I'm getting 25 miles to the gallon which is shocking, I do have a little hole in the exhaust somewhere but I dont think this would be effecting the car that much.
Can anyone else out there with a 206 xsi tell me how much they are getting with a full tank of fuel?

#3: Re: Pug 206 Xsi 1.6 16v - Millage question Author: Achillez, Posted: Fri Oct 26, 2012 2:32 am ---- At the moment I've done 134 miles and I'm under half way point. Is this a common fault or?
#4: Re: Pug 206 Xsi 1.6 16v - Millage question Author: roscoe, Location: North east UKPosted: Fri Oct 26, 2012 3:04 am ---- Maybe just needs a good service. I had a 1.1 206 was doing 50 mile a day round trip costing me £20 every 2 days one of the reason I had to sell it.
Was a little better after a service.

I did a 500 mile round trip recently and it took a tank and a quarter. That was half night time driving aswell. One o the reasons it's going and I'm getting a diesel. I will also point out my car is serviced regular and looked after.

#7: Re: Pug 206 Xsi 1.6 16v - Millage question Author: Uz, Location: No Man's LandPosted: Fri Oct 26, 2012 5:37 am ---- I used to get double that driving every day to Birmingham and back in my XSI with a tank brimmed on a monday morning. Used to last me till end Friday morning.
#8: Re: Pug 206 Xsi 1.6 16v - Millage question Author: Achillez, Posted: Fri Oct 26, 2012 7:09 am ---- My car is standard, not chipped or any mods. What could cause this and how can i find the fault, I had a service last week and it changed nothing. I'd hate to see what I'd get if I drove like an idiot.
I don't really wanna take it to a garage and they replace parts and me having to spend money when it hasnt solved the issue, hence why id like to find the problem myself.
Could it be that I need to clean the injectors? Should I put some injector cleaner or whatever u call it in my tank?
I'd like to thank everyone that has replied so far.

#10: Re: Pug 206 Xsi 1.6 16v - Millage question Author: Achillez, Posted: Fri Oct 26, 2012 7:55 am ---- 280 miles ÷ 11 gallon, = 25 to the gallon, my clock on dashboard says I'm doing 40 so I should get 440 miles. And yes I have reset my clocks when I fill my tank to the top.
#11: Re: Pug 206 Xsi 1.6 16v - Millage question Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Fri Oct 26, 2012 8:31 am ---- How have you worked the litre to gallon ratio out? Imperial gallon or US gallon?
11 gallons is 50.05 litres. The tank holds 50 litres. Your calculations could be out.
#12: Re: Pug 206 Xsi 1.6 16v - Millage question Author: wifes206, Location: LeicestershirePosted: Fri Oct 26, 2012 8:56 am ---- it little over 50 litres but not even 50.01 so I'd work it out to 11gallons = 50litre
So your mpg = 25.45
Something's wrong somewhere that seems low, but not had a
petrol car in a long time
#13: Re: Pug 206 Xsi 1.6 16v - Millage question Author: Seabook, Posted: Fri Oct 26, 2012 10:03 am ---- you never mention what road did you drive mostly.
#14: Re: Pug 206 Xsi 1.6 16v - Millage question Author: Quarmbo, Location: Bristol & LeicesterPosted: Fri Oct 26, 2012 10:29 am ---- Don't drive in 5th all the time. You're engine will struggle and fuel consumption will be worse.
#15: Re: Pug 206 Xsi 1.6 16v - Millage question Author: robclowes, Location: Crewe/WiganPosted: Fri Oct 26, 2012 10:38 am ---- i travel 88 miles a day 5 days a week and get about 42-44 mpg out of my xsi. Most of my driving is on motorway. I get about 420-440 per £60
