IF THE CAR IS NOT AS DESCRIBED then you can demand a refund,iirc this comes under the sale of goods act.

if there are no faults with the car,then it comes down to your research or lack of it.

i had a 2ltr petrol and to be honest think the most i got out of it was around 25 to the gallon,NEVER AGAIN.

count your self lucky you havnt got a v6,mind you it gets you there before youve even left. :)

I get 24mpg all day everyday on short journeys! I then get 30 mpg on a run, so don't tarnish the v6 with the mpg figures above.

 

I would suspect that your car needs a really good service or bring your foot off the loud pedal a little bit!

Its the reason I don't buy petrol cars any more. TBH I don't think 14mpg is that unexpected for a big car like the gal.

I once had a Vauxhall VX490 twin carb job and also an MG magnette back in the good old days - don't think I ever got more than 15mpg out of either of them. There again petrol was only 7/6 a gallon. On the other hand I was only earning about a tenner a week.

Overjoyed with diesel gal - never less than 40mpg even when fully loaded and used around town most of the time - actually beats my Fiat Punto petrol on mpg - crazy..
