do you have any CEL's.. Maybe your 1.4 has a smaller petrol tank than your 1.6.. IDK why you traded a 1.6 for a 1.4.. Alot has to do with your driving habits... your used to a "faster and bigger" engine.. so if you try to get moving faster due to lack of power, you will use more "petrol"

I Traded In Because The Petrol Prices Are Rising Day By Day And Since 1.6 Has A Bigger Engine I Presumed That It Would Take More Petrol Since I Used To Have A 1.4 Golf And Its Petrol Consumption Was Excellent.... Both 1.6 And 1.4 Are Fitted With 45 Ltr Tank.. I Have Actually Started Driving Like A Old Lady As Compared To My Old Car... Lol..

This Car Is Automatic That Means Only 4 Gears So It Takes Time To Change Gear Soo Most Of The Time The Car Is On A High Rev ....


I Dont Know If This Is Normal..as In Fuel Consumption

STOP YELLING AT ME

I just yelled louder, my caps were bigger.

.. Anyways, you might just need a tune up, make sure your tires are inflated properly, make sure car idles and runs okay, and make sure you don't drive like a d**k lol.
