mpg

[bhprs]

hi all,
now im just curious as to what other people are getting in real world mpg .
ive a 2ltdi 143 avant sline 2010 .i seem to get no more than 44-45 mpg on a run and 38 running about . ive only done 3500 mls so maybe needs a few miles to loosen up

I've had my 2.0 143PS S-Line since Xmas eve and done roughly 1200 miles.

The MPG varies, but the 'long cycle' (number 2 on the trip computer) it suggests 42mpg, and last week on a decent run, the day-to-day cycle was telling me 52mpg.

However I must say I've been taking it steady so I guess these numbers are towards the better side of the economy scale.

My previous car, 2007 Passat 2.0 (140ps) Tdi would do 38mpg round town, and when I hammered it, but if I was on a run being sensible I'd get 50ish mpg.

I guess we'll only get to know the true MPG when we've got 10k miles on the clock.
Cheers

39.5mpg averaged over 14.5k miles (143 bhp Manual S-Line Avant) v's 41.7 displayed on the trip. Also on my 3rd litre of oil.

Oh no..!!

Not another car which drinks oil..!

56k on my 143 TDi S Line Avant manual.

Overall mpg on the 2nd trip is 45.5 (and I have used it for towing a large caravan too so thats impressive)

Average per trip is 49-54mpg.

Can't get through from service to service (20k) without about half a litre of oil though.

Mine does mid 40's on the commute to work (mainly dual A roads), but on longer runs on motorways upper 30's. It's not great economy, but I love it.

My 2.0TFSi has used 4 gallons of oil in 65K over the last 18mth! Even Halfords charge £50 a pop. MMM
