Should be getting at least 200 out of 40 quid, round town the 2.2 is pretty crap though much better on the motorway. I've just averaged 29mpg over the last 4k miles with a mixture of town and motorway. HTH :y

2.2 is pretty crazy whent it comes to fuel consumption.
My last one was doing 14 to 15 litres in town driving for 100km.
On opend road I was getting 7 to 7.5 litres per 100 km.
If I was extra carefull it could go even slightly bellow 7 (6.6 was my best result on a longer trip but it was like driving miss Daisy).
But in town no matter how careful I was it wouldnt go bellow 14.
That is the price for all that weight.
