my 318 touring seems a bit slower than i was expecting.

when i eventually get upto 70mph its revving at around 4000rpm... that seems really high to me, my old neon i had before this would sit at 70mph on a solid 2000rpm

also when i am cruising on the motorway at 60-70ish my mpg needle is always between 20-30mpg usually closer to 20.... seems low to me?

I thought my clutch might be slipping thats way its using more rev's then it needs..

ideas?
