Hi,
I'm new to this forum as I've just got my first VW - an 04 1.9 SE TDI with 38k on the clock

I've driven about 200 miles since I got it at the weekend and I don't seem to be getting as good a fuel economy as I expected - which is why I started looking at these forums. I would have expected 600 miles out of a tank at least but after 200 the fuel guage is nearly half empty and it was practically full when I got it

My daily trip to work is a 40 mile round trip with about 80% of this at dual carriageway speeds, say 70mph or so, and I don't drive particularly madly either

The car was serviced about 4 months ago, but does this sound like a problem to anyone? Should I take the car back to VW for a once over under the warranty?

Any suggestions would be appreciated as I'm a little bit miffed about this at the moment

Cheers,
Andy
