Default Streetka

Hi All,

I recently bought a Streetka for my wife. She loves it, but we have one little gripe about it. The fuel consumption is aweful, she no Nigel Mansell and the car does a 30 mile trip per day on a A Road. I drove it the other day and it felt flat and did a 50 mile trip on the M-way and the thing used qtr of a tank

Any ideas if this is normal or should I be looking at something on these. Getting around 200 miles to a tank which cost just over £40 to fill

Warley,

Wish I could be more optimistic but it is not very good on fuel, which leads to think there could be an issue somewhere
