Bound and gagged

Further to your recent correspondence about poor mpg experienced by owners of Hyundai i10s, like others I am unable to obtain anywhere near the advertised mpg. Since last September when I purchased the car new have recorded average figures of only 46 mpg extra urban and 38.5 urban. I reckon that I can squeeze as much out of a gallon as anyone and I am disappointed to say the least.
