I travel 4 miles into work and do a lot of stopping and starting. Town driving mainly with about 1.5 miles of continuos 40mph and I get 40-50 mpg. Normally is 45-50mpg. Depends on how hard I use the throttle! 
bad day = 40mpg. 
I have a 130tdi Sport.

welcome to the forum asell mate enjoy I couldn't have asked for a better answer than that. Thats exactly the kind of driving i do to work. i get 30-35mpg in my 1.6 golf. altho i do manage at least 45mpg on the M-way at 80mph over hundereds of miles. defenitly think i'll be makin the change.

its cool i need glasses i knew there would be a search but never looked hard enough
Any way i wanted to know for my specific journey cos i doubt there's many people that do 5mile journey's. the search will be used in future

i havent seen figures that low for ages but i havent seen 2100 revs for a few weeks im gonna go mad soon!
ive got a remapped modded cupra petrol and i get about 150miles to £20 driving like a granny but a few months ago £20 would have got me 80ish miles getting as low as 10-15mpg on a 12mile trip country roads

Showing around 40 by the time I get to work (3 miles) in Cordoba 130 tdi se.
Showed 58 on a run the other day but strangely went by motorway and came back cross country and showed better results coming back at medium fast pace on country roads than at 75mph on motorway.
All above driving like a granny of course, prolly halve those figures with heavy right foot but its a lot more fun
My average MPG is showing 27! (I've not reset it in the 11 months ive had the car. any one know how to do this? the manual is at least 2 rooms away. its easier to ask here!)
I drive a 1.4 petrol about 3 miles to work 5 days a week and as its a 1.4 i need to keep it in low gears to get any "ooomph"
In hindsight i should have spent the extra £2000ish and got the 1.9TDi instead of paying through the nose for petrol every week!

off topic but I was well impressed, driving into work the other day. 4th gear, just over 1000 rpm cruising along at gentle pace......108mpg! thats not average obv. But still impressive I reckon! Was coming back from Cardiff on Monday (to my house is about 1 hour 15 and was coming back at like half 5 in the morning), my average was 58.1mpg on the motorway! At 80 btw. Well happy!

I have also noticed the 100+ figures (not often!) usually at the end of the month and i'm watching the pennies i turn on the mpg computer so when it shows 8-11 mpg i should stop driving like a tw*t !

under 10mpg isnt a challenge for us petrol boys
But you can't wait to find out....
How could I tell? Well, I think its pretty fair to say that all of us on here would feel the same if we were in your shoes!
