I'm just wondering how many miles you guy's get to a tank of fuel. I have the 1.6 stylance and now fuel is coming down in price a full tank is costing me about £45 and i seem to get about 330-350 miles out of the tank, meaning between 32 and 35 mpg (according to the trip computer). I'm just wondering if for this engine this economy is about right...

Thanks

1.9TDi Stylance

Best trip value I've had is 60mpg, Best I've had over the course of a tank is 54mpg (If i'd of run it dry that would of worked out to 650 miles)

Top Gear Magazine ran an Ecomotive Leon from Spain to the UK, They got 939 miles on a tank......

I have a 1.6 stylance too.

At one point (Spring and Summer) I was getting a minimum of 34 mpg (town and country) and a max of about 44. Once I even managed a whooping 57 mpg. I wasn't driving like a granny either.

Now however my mpg has gone right down. I struggle to get to 40mph at all. I checked the tyres and these were down so pumped them up the required levels. Have seen an improvement but nothing like the 44 i was regualrly getting before. Do you think it's down to the cold weather? I would haev thought this was the case when the car is cold but driving after about 10 mins it should be warm enough to run properly right?

p.s. do a search there was a massive thread about this recently and it all depends on what kind of driving you do, over what types of roads. Not everyone is going to be the same.

Well on my motorway and A-road commute I usually get 620km to a tank (thats at about 140km/h on the motorway guzzling it) but i dont let it drop too low before refilling. Usually works out at about 35-37 mpg over a tank for my 1.6. Around town this drops to about 500km to a tank though, especially when using the air con. On a nice steady run 40-44 is easily achievable though
