So after a 4C and a Stelvio QV, I’ve just picked up this Giulia.
Alfas can get addictive…

Seems to be a very well cared for car by its one previous owner (and an Owners Club sticker in the glove box)

Slightly eye opening when I filled it up with £75 of finest SUL to see the range at 239 miles laugh
Assuming a smaller tank the the Stelvio?

Looking forward to a nice summer!

That looks great, I’ve been looking at these for a while. Was car from Marshall’s in Grantham? If so, I’d been keeping an eye on it hoping the price would drop further.

I think it's 58L - I used to get the same out of mine, it averaged about 22mpg across a tank. Weirdly the MY19 one I had averaged about 25-26 and was better on a run.

Beautiful car though, very jealous and trying to work out if I should get myself into another!

Nice car OP! I just missed out on being able to get yellow callipers, I'm sure I'll get over it though... maybe.

I think the port injection and PPFs in the facelift cars has an impact on economy versus the earlier versions, although I know some cars pre-facelift got lumped with them as well.

I thought Alfa added port injectors (in addition to direct injection), so they didn’t have to use an OPF?
Haven’t looked to see if mine has them, but it does seem a tad quieter (and thirstier…) than my Stelvio.

They got both I believe later on, around 2019 they got just port injection, and then the facelift got OPFs as well. Yay etc grumpy

Unfortunately it looks more like an OPF.

This from another car
