I have 1.4 petrol 206 which the temperature gauge doesn't move above 80 is this normal ?? I am trying to get to the bottom of why it uses so much petrol it does 24 mpg.
Look forward to your replies to this matter.

As above although I only once got it above 90 which went together with lots of warning lights. MPG is currently under lots of tests....

Thankyou for all your replies I am so disappointed with the car it looks and drives fine but i really thought i would get more mpg than this from it i really can't drive it any more careful than i'm doing sure i could walk faster at times !!! lol
I'm going to get it into the garage some point this week to see if they can find anything wrong with it but it has already been on snap-on tester and its showing no faults at all

my old 1.4 was 80-90 depending on weather
and could do around 500-600 miles on a full tank (depending on type of road and driving style)
