tdi 170 fuel economy

[conman]

I am considering an audi b8 a4 170 hp as my next vehicle and would be obliged to hear from owners of the 170(only) as to their fuel economy returns.

Thank you.

I've done just over 10k miles in 10 months & am returning c40mpg in a 170 Quattro using V-Power. A mixture of runs from 28 mile office commutes in busy traffic to 300 mile motorway journeys. I could achieve higher returns with a lighter touch!

Had my MY2010 FWD 170 since Sept 1st 2009 and have covered 6k miles, the average from new is 41.5mpg which is 25% town, 25% motorways, 50% A+B roads.
It isn't as good as my previous PD130 Passat, but the cold weather seems to have had quite an impact; I hope it will improve as the engine gets a few more miles on it.

Just turned 29k over the 11 months and computer average says 47.0mpg.
Thats a good mix of everything. Hope this helps

Blimey, I hope my TDIe 136 cheers up once it's got a few more miles on it then.... My average so far is showing as 47MPG... The book claimed it'd do 49 around town.

Yes, I'm still getting used to a diesel but I am now ensuring I upchange more or less when it recommends. And, due to liking my licence, I just set the cruise at 70 when I'm on a motorway.

just to clarify,are you guys quoting from the obc or measured usage as i read that audi obc can be up to 15% optimistic.

again,thanks for your time.

I've completed just over 6k miles in my fwd 170 and I'm averaging around 41mpg around town, 45mpg in mixed driving and regularly over 50mpg on longer Motorway runs but only when exercising restraint with my right foot!!

[divelandy]

with a 170q i'm about to do 4k and get ~40mpg on the obc.

170 fwd averaging 42.8 with 23k - will do 48 on a long run
