Hello from new 2009 Audi A3 owner

[Coralwood59]

Hi everyone,
I have just (2 weeks now) started owning a lovely Slate grey 5dr audi A3 1.9 TDIe, my previous car was a Ghecko green Volvo C30 Rdesign and the A3 is just as cool (maybe better time will tell!?), looking forward to finding all the little owner/user tips and tricks and thanks for letting me join.

Welcome to VWAF.

I bought a 2009 A3 TDIe Sport last week albeit in Ice Silver, collecting this week sometime.

As an owner, how many miles roughly are you getting to a tank?

I am not sure ...I have put 2 lots of diesel in so far and I estimate it is more economical than my Volvo C30 was and that was quite good, I base this on putting less in money wise and going the same trips distances as I usually do but still got more left than in my C30 for the same trips....? not very scientific I know but this is someone who usually chooses a car by the colour first and economy second...but This Audi ...I did intend to keep a proper log ..but never got around to it.. the display says 45.4mpg but that can't be correct as I feel it is better....45.5 litres in and 417 miles? and a bit more 1/8th tank more than started with?
