Hi ,
I bought a 2016 1.2 teckna auto in December ... I didnt think I was getting good fuel economy so last week checked it again. I have put £30 of fuel in and the low fuel light has come on at144 Miles .. Is this about right? I don’t think so but thought I’d get a sense check from other drivers before going back to the garage .

That’s seems low.
Approx 20mpg ?
What sort of journeys ?
Short, I guess, where the engine might not reach the optimum temperature ?
If I remember correctly the 1.2 automatic wasn’t ever an economic car but that is poor.
I have never owned or driven one so I’m sorry I can’t offer any assistance

Mid 20's per gallon. If you are doing a number of short journeys in heavy traffic, sounds about right. My 1.6 diesel is around those sort of figures, but on a reasonable run I get well over 40mpg, not a comparison I know, but it does show the variance on driving conditions.
