Don't have a drinking problem

Filled up the TDi with standard diesel (Shell/Sainsbury's), drove +50 miles and then checked how many miles I had left in the tank:



I love my car Hope the new Facelift FR TDi will be able to get similar range/MPG

I think it calculates the distance, from your previous average MPG. How far back it takes into account I have no idea. But on leaving the garage it was sitting at ~560, then on to the motorway at a sensible speed/MPG (monitored by WifeSpeedoChecker™) and it just shot up. I reckon if I had been driving sensibly before I filled up, then maybe 650 miles might be achievable. I'm currently testing different brands of diesel at the moment. So far Shell normal derv is my fave.

Oh and I did actually cover ~600 miles before I filled up again, so its fairly accurate. But if you change your driving style, and start flooring it everywhere it will plummet obviously. So 625 is the target now to beat Rael

@ Gary@Cookies, I don't have an FR yet! but we are currently considering getting a a facelift FR TDi. I have a 1.9 TDi bought specifically for cheap running and long distance travelling, although it is remapped. As for the Global Warming, I personally don't agree with the current mainstream theories, and don't give 2 hoots about it tbh.

I could go on, but as you got the wrong end of the stick I shall stop. Oh and thanks for making the FR sound so exciting, I hope it will be

Yeah I'm sure the FR will be. Just got to convince my other half now I would go for the Cupra, but I would need to own a forecourt to run it.

They should do a Cupra body with all the lightened suspension etc, but with the 170 diesel engine or better. Still tempted by the Cupra though.
