Recently bought a 1.4 206sw 8v petrol. I've noticed its matching my old 1.6 civic and getting 280/300 miles a tank.
I was wondering is this right or are others getting a higher millage from a full tank

It depends on what sort of driving you're doing. If it's motorway miles that works out to 28/30 mpg. My 1.1 used to achieve 23 mpg on the way to uni which was 70% dual carriageway and 30% town driving

Imo that doesn't sound bad at all. Vexs used to have a 1.4 and perhaps he/ others with a 1.4 can give a better idea of whether or not your fuel economy is good. Do you use any fuel additives like Redex?

My TU3 206 is returning around 33 mpg average at the moment.
The ET3 206 I have easily beats it with around 42 mpg average.
Both are 2003 vintage & both between 104K miles & 115k miles, both used to trundle round town & climate control on all the time.
Highest i've seen on the TU3 is just under 40 mpg average on a long motorway run.
The ET3 around 52 mpg average.

On 85% motorway, 15% town (with the 'occasional' thrash) I've been getting 320-350 miles per tank, on 98 in pretty standard 1.6 16V XS manual with a/c at eco/off, with 112k miles in the clock.

Largest fill up I've done was ~45 liters (from -- miles left on the computer + about 5km, to auto-shut-off on the nozzle), and at 8.3 l/100km that gives me ~542 km (or ~336 miles)
GTi 180 (RC) with about the same mix of driving, but AC typically on Auto, 95 oct (E10), ~56.000 miles (90.000 km)

It's worth a try. Some people swear by it whereas others think of it as simply snake oil. I used to think of it as the latter however until I got an extra 30 miles out of a tank when using it regularly.

Put some redex through my pug a few months ago and within 2 or 3 weeks it was in the garage having a replacement injector. Whilst I can't prove it was redex at the bottom of it all I will simply never use it again and stick with using better fuel from a Shell garage.
