I'm running a 1.5dci Renault Captur around town get 50/55mpg (ECO MODE) on a run I do every 6 weeks Costa Blanca to Bordeaux at 120/130kms per hour cruise control I achieve 80/83 mpg again ECO MODE. I never take it out of eco mode.
If I had wanted a performance car I would have bought one.
I would never buy a car with the ECO boost 3 cylinder engine 1 ltr To get it to go anywhere you have to rev the bollocks out of it, top end revs all the time so more wear and tear.
Don't give a foc about the emissions test it will likely fail as all marques are flogging figures.
I reckon my engine will out live the car though as the build quality on Renaults leave a lot to be desired , my car is just coming up to a year old, starting to rattle already but mechanically never let me down ( now that is a kiss of death)
