I'd love to get 40mpg average. My tiptronic bammer guzzles fuel. about 25 in town and motorways between 70-80 mph is around 36mpg. It does weigh more than 2 ton so i suppose i shouldnt complain lol. my old r reg bammer got 45mpg average on decent runs but that was a manual so i may have to trade in again. Does anyone know why co2 levels on autos is much higher than manuals cos i just got tax renewal ands its £195 for mine but much cheaper if i had 2.0tdi and mines is 1.9tdi?

i've had my car since wednesday, never had a journey below 45mpg.
my MFA2 is reading 52mpg average over the 350ish miles i've done since wednesday. i can easily hit 50mpg in town roads and high 50's out of town
on half tank of diesel i have covered 280miles so not too bad, im still loving the turbo pull so its been getting a bit of a play

you are all very lucky i get 280 miles to a tank my car does go well but would there be anything that would bring the mpg down. i do have a heavy right foot but even when driving easy its still doesnt really deliver good mpg . seems to use the same amount of fuel wether i drive hard or easy.

oh ok

my figures are all from tank fillings, no on-board computer on mine.

plus when im on my mway, too hard for me to do 60mph

hopefully get cruise fitted over the summer

380is miles so far, 1/4 tank remain from £40 and about 150 miles i think the computer said, might be a bit less
hit 65.4mpg today on a 42 mile run, i was chuffed its the most mpg i ever seen

Editing your spelling
b12 - if your getting 40mpg and its mainly town driving i would say that sounds fine. TDis gets their best economy on long runs, Motorways and a roads. Take it for a long trip (ie 250 miles to devon or the like) then see what you get. Im sure it will be fine.

well the old man's taken the car yesterday to London and will be back today (~300miles).


i'll see how much of the tank has been used, and then when i next fill up, i can work out the exact mpg
