Three tanks in the petrol 9-3 1.8t, so far, she's averaged *cough cough*. Okay okay just *mumble mutter*. Just over 39 to the gallon. This is mixed driving, but for door to door motorway stuff at 70, it sees a trip computer
44+ (take off ~5% for real figures).
What's worse is that the thing I like most about the petrol 9-3 versus the diesel C9-3 is the quiet idle, especially when cold. The thing I dislike the most is that I have to work the gearbox hard in the petrol one to make it accelerate well.
It's wrong.
*dons flame proof suit*
Worse, is that if I could only bring myself to trust that lovely-to-drive Italian 1.9 TiD, I'd have that donk instead...
