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!

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

(see more details here)
Had a cursory look under mine this morning.. frown

Unfortunately it looks more like an OPF.
