The 1.6 I honestly think is terrible on fuel, and it's quite underpowered too.

Del I think there are a couple of different 1.6s with one of them being the turbo version at something like 225BHP

What on the Astra H  :-?

Sorry, my bad 180BHP

About half way down the page, I read the wrong bit first. 

Or this http://ecotechperformance.co.uk/vauxhall/ says top 1.6 is 177BHP

Now it makes sense  I'd lay money on the 1.6 Turbo being better on fuel than the in my opinion pretty poor 1.6 N/A engine. Any N/A petrol in a Vauxhall I find juicy  :-/

Nah, e.g., er indoors 1.6 Astra J shows a combined average of 34-35mpg (town driving) and hits 45 on a run.

But, do remember that the H has had THREE different 1.6 engines!

1.6 VVT engine I'm on about, how ever your mrs. gets that MPG I'll never know.

Easy and she does give it some stick to.

Even I can get that mpg, been pretty impressed with it TBH.
