Hi all fule economy question

[Dan-w]

Hi just wanted to know roughly how miles you all get out of a full tank on a Leon fr ? It will be the decider in buying one this weekend :-D cheers in advance

 

[Jarre]

Petrol or diesel?

 

[Dan-w]

Sorry diesel that was an armature move ha ha

Also, is it a PD or CR engine (2005-2009 or 2009-). My 2.0TDi CR seems to be getting around 50 mpg, this is a mix of both town and motorway driving.

FR these days is just a trim level. It could be a 1.4 the OP is talking about.

 

[Dan-w]

Ok it's a pd 2ltr fr tdi lol

 

[Nath.]

50 MPG on a very good day on a long run of say 50 miles or more. 38 would be the norm for round town.

I used to have a PD170 FR.

 

[Dan-w]

So roughly 450-500 from a tank full at around £75 ? It's better then my Corsa then getting about 260-280 from £60 l

I have had my 2ltr TDI PD170 FR for a week now. I do mostly town driving and relatively short distances and the MPG is at 39 at the moment. I have used 1/4 of a tank in a week and done 170 miles out of it.

The mileage display says 370 miles till next fill up however I know this will go down. Id be happy with 400-450 miles to a tank.

I get (So far) around 60mpg but I do long motorway journeys in the inside lane at 55-60mph

@70mph I see roughly 50-52mpg.

If I use supermarket fuel I get noticeably less MPG Not sure why though.

 

[putridmocha]

be more worried about the dpf filter than fuel eco
nice engine and nice after a remap

 

[Dan-w]

What's the dpf filter ??????

 

[putridmocha]

traps all the soot most modern diesels have them and they are a pain in the arse
read up on it before you buy it, will save you a lot of hassle in the long run

 

[Dan-w]

Do they go wrong or something

 

[Shepsta]

Just remove the DPF + remap once you get it.

On topic, I get 550-580 per tank in my fr 75% motorway driving never below 75mph.

 

[Dan-w]

That's what I wanted to here just read about the shark dpf delete I just kept reading about people only doing 50-60 mph to get good mpg and I know I wouldent do that ha ha

It's always the risk when you correct people.
