W176 a class a180 petrol top up oil

Car still running in do thought I'd check the oil.
Was at just over minimum
Topped up with some I had for the golf.
Hopefully not a sign of things to come,  may even quieten down the tappety noise
Also surprised to see the cars ecu up front in the crash impact zone.  Guess it keeps it cool but seems an odd place ( unless I'm wrong and it's the ecu for the lights etc but I doubt it)
Noticed eco mode doesn't stay enabled for the next day but does for minor journeys within the same day.

A180 petrol auto w176 268 miles 32.1mpg

Slightly better but still pretty bad but that's 268 miles with almost another 1/4 tank to go. 

Still running in.
This is in comfort mode so will try eco mode next.
Car runs well though and strong.
Lovely car only downsides are poor visibility and I think the engine is noisy very 'tappety'
