I sure can
fast Idle test
CO = 0.13%
HC = 25ppm
Funny symbol that I cant write with keyboard but looks kinda like an & = 1.009
Natural Idle test
CO = 0.00%

Im betting that car isnt 12+ years old with a high mileage though.
Apparently my Dads 12v 1.0i ecotect 99 corsa does about 35mpg - 40mpg now this is one of the more efficient corsas and a very low mileage (19.1K) So looking at that I would have thought 25 would have been right for mine (though again I would like to point out that I know nothing
)
