i only get 180 miles ish to a tank of fuel on my gt !
Manual or auto no difference here, depends how hard you push the car and in fact an auto is more economical on the motorway because of the over drive and which gives 2500k RPM at 60mph.
Low boost would give bad mpg by the way. What mods does she have and why does she get a boost creep the air filter is too big?
The tyres are important for gOod mpg, properly inflated tyres give better mpg.
Possible sticky callipers - again bad mpg.
Many other reasons - even the grade of petrol she's probably using 95 ron which burns faster then 99.
For my auto glanza 500km or 300miles per tank is easily achivable on the motorway run but when combined at 0.9 bar boost I get at least 220 miles per tank and that's not driving like a granddad!

i think glanza's must be better because on a motorway driving off boost properly inflated tyres high octane fuel only get 180 mils to a tank ! maybe a little more give or take !
Glanza has a bigger fuel tank than a GT . Also if the GT feed pipe comes off the back of the tank fuel goes in the pipe when you accelerate so the fuel light comes on slightly earlier than the Glanza turbo tank that feeds from the side so is less effected by acceleration.

my glanza does about 44miles on £20 when i push it and anout 77 miles on £20 when i drive eco.
Driving ECO is that the motorway driving? No point saying the cost of petrol compared to miles as it's different depending on the country or even a city - it would be more interesting if you could provide the amount of litres. But for me 77 miles on £20 sound like driving when I push it -) and something like 130 miles on £20 when I drive eco. But to be honest I rarely push my car hard.
