You have a heavy right foot, so that puts you firmly at the opposite end of the scale. Also note that the 1.6 HDi has lower MPG and is actually a higher insurance group compared the the 2.0 HDi, which makes no sense...
I get around 6.5 l in the city per 100 km on 1.1 106 peugeot. It is a light little car. However, a 206 sized car is heavy and a 1.1 engine just sucks and uses a lot of fuel. For real economy one needs a smaller car. Or a bicycle.

Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
