Hi,
I bought a new Kia Ceed 3 last week, and I am worrying a little bit about the mpg I am getting and wondered if People could offer any advice as to what I should do or if it is normal.
Basically the book says it should do the following:
Urban: 52.3
Extra Urban: 65.7
Combined: 60.1
My car is the one with 17" wheels.
I really love the car and the warranrty =D
OK so I drove it home from Bolton to my home (Leeds)which is about 38 miles and the best i reached was 55mpg and when i pulled in on my drive I had 52 mpg. Now I was quite happy with this as I know the figure they give are not really achievable as there done in perfect conditions.
On Xmas Day I went to Hull and when I got home I was at 50. On boxing day I went to Selby and when I got home it had 49.0.
I just not sure if I should be happy with this or worried, is it a little stiff because its new? (my first new car) or do I need to speak to them.
I was trying to stick at around 70mph on the motorways and even did 60mph for a little bit to see if that helped but not much difference. The weird thing is on the Motorway I cant get anywhere near the 55 I had on first drive home.
Thank you in advance for your advice.
Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year
