Lool that would be impossible with Peugeot 206 1.1... at 10MPH it is at 3000-4000 revs. 30 MPH on first gear will be nice  Fast start... |
i have a 206 1.1 lx, and when i get to 10mph my car is only at 2000 revs i can get about 25 out of it if i wanted to rag the nuts of it

Well yours perform better than mine for some reason although we got same model and engine size. At 10MPH is at 3000 and 20MPH at 5-6000. I won't bother 25MPH + on first

Ouch, whats that the best part of 2 and a half gallons a day in fuel?
My 1.4 seems to be s**te on the stuff, think I need to change the fuel filter, hasnt been changed in at least 28,000 miles. Hate to think of the colour its gonna come out at.

No idea as what ive said, the engine hasnt been serviced for at least three years lol.
On a full tank, the first half goes down really quick, it feels like its only 100 miles, but the second half seems to last forever lol.
Im not complaining though, I only spent about £60-£70 a month on fuel

Seems to be the other way around for me the first half from full to half I seem to be able to around the world on it. However under half I seem to be able to do 1 lap around the mcdonalds drive thru and the fuel lights on. But saying that the places I go are constant hilly backroads so the rev range does get used quite a bit.
