1.6 TU5 (16v, 110hp) runs always between 70 and 90, sometimes closer to 90, unless is pretty hot outside (in summer we have around 45-48°C here in Monterrey) so the needle sticks close to 110.
Best Regards

my old 1.4 206 ran at about 90-100 degrees with about 30mpg. If ya want to improve mpg stick half a bottle of redex into a full tank and drive changing gear at about 2500 - 3000 rmp. if ya change gear too soon you actually use more fuel because the car is working harder somehow

Out of interest (because it goes hand-in-hand with what I am experimenting with), for those seeing poor MPG, what fuel are you using?

I have been using Shell's normal unleaded but after reading things on here am going to change to another brand.
As for the fuel economy had the car 11 months now and used to get 35-37 mpg from it running around the town 44 mpg on a good run, so not sure whats the matter with it now to be down to 24mpg ! think i remember it running at 90 before too so its going in to the garage to be looked at.

My 1.4 runs around the 80 deg mark. Are you doing long journeys or little trips? In the cold weather the engine doesnt get a chance to warm up properly and will always use more fuel. Mine doesnt do much more than 28mpg in this weather but I am doing short journeys.

My 1.6 runs at just over 90 when driving carefully. I get about 33mpg at the moment. But I do live on the Isle of Man. Lots of hills and corners with plenty of gear changes and start and stops....
