35 MPG is within the lower ball park typical performance envelope.


Typical mixed local defensive driving achieves nominal  45-49 MPG in my stock 1998 1300cc K11.


Too many variables to make statistically valid comparisons of nominal & real life values of MPG & or KM/litre.


Frequent winter time cold start-ups, mostly short journeys across town, driving style, tyres type/pressures/tracking/fuel grade/ brakes binding & vehicle condition make disproportionately large differences rendering direct comparison indeterminate. Wide wheels (fatties) add weight increase rolling resistance, plus performance mods waste energy & fuel.


I have achieved 63 MPG on a 325 mile summer time round trip driving at steady grand granny 50 MPH on M-way & A roads using cheap supermarket UL fuel. Thats good enough for me.  ;)
