If the engine is in reasonable condition then you should be getting way above 25 mpg, even on an urban cycle with a 1.2 Corsa. I cannot find any exact data but I would expect nearer 35 mpg. Even my large 2.4 litre petrol estate car does around 22 mpg on an urban cycle that includes lots of short journeys. On a long motorway run this goes up to around 37 mpg +.
