I initially had my eye on the 1.6, but am now contemplating the 1.1SLX and the 1.6. Not to mention a price difference of 45K between the two.

Some FE figures for the two would give me a fair idea. Besides, I drive very comfortably in the city. On the highways, I'd like to do atleast between 120-140 without pushing the engine too much.
Are these speeds easily reachable in the 1.1s, without makin' the poor engine cry?
There is quite a difference between the FE figures of 1.1 and 1.6

1.1

City 13-14
Highway 16 - 17

1.6

City 9 - 11 ( I am getting 10-11)
Highway 13-14 ( I am getting 14)

Now till day I did not cross 300 RPM barrier. I am about to give my car for first service next week will update this post with the FE figures that am gonna get after first service am expecting it to increase :P
