You're not pushing it hard enough then, not long after I got it I managed to average 22mpg, that was a lot of twisty B road thrashing peddling though!

I'd imagine you could get it under 20 if you really tried. (Might just have a go at the 'ring in the summer!)

Yes but the op's is a 1.4 and to be honest my foots always to the floor in the ZR and it never gets any lower. I get better than 12 mpg out of my Corvette and Ram and there both 5.7.

I wasn't talking about the OP's, I was talking about yours not getting under 24.

Well if I cant get a 160 under 24 how is a 105 only getting 12, there must be something wrong there.
