3.0 tdi fuel consumption

[5678]

2.0 tdi CVT here, on a long mway run at the weekend I saw an average of 56mpg when sitting at 70mph (sleeping child so was in no rush!)

At my normal cruising speed of 85-95 I am seeing around 42mpg.

Car has now done 6400 miles and has been remapped.

Just to add this was with BP Ultimate diesel, I've not used it before and was curious to try. They car felt very quick, but I don't drive it daily so not sure if it made a difference or was just placebo. It was hilariously expensive though as I filled up at the motorway services.... £1.57 a litre!

My figures are over the whole tank of fuel, not a run.

But on a long motorway run at 70 I can't get more than about 45 - 47mpg. It is a manual.

That was over approx 100 miles with an average of 50-something mph.

Tank wise, we're seeing low 40s now. We do a mix of stop start short journeys and longer mway runs.

Generally, I share your thoughts thought. The 3.0 would have been a nicer one to own. But it's irrelevant as this will be my first and last diesel car. I just don't like them.

Very similar then!

This will be our first and last Audi, back to BMW where the mpg figures are far more achievable. Not got a problem with diesels, just this one!!!!!

It's not even the MPG that bothers me too much, I just don't really like it enough to keep it. I shouldn't have been a scrooge and put my hand in my pocket for the X5 that I really wanted!

Same here, almost brought a 530GT but went for a cheaper option with the Audi. Big mistake..........

The GT is a great car! I had one for a week loan from BMW in Manchester. Excellent build and spec. The blocker for us was the lack of boot space.
5 Touring was nice, but new at the time and very expensive.
X5 was the choice, but didn't have the dealer backing that it currently does. This made it very expensive overall.
