I've got the same engine in mine and get 50-56mpg on a 25 mile run into work which (apart from 5 miles or so) is a 60 mins stop/start journey pretty much all the way. Coming home it's all up hill and it drops to 47mpg-ish - but it can be hugely affected by how much I put my foot down!
MPG overall has improved since new (now 1nearly 0,000 miles). Easily get 65-68mpg on a good motorway run
so by my calculations, (56mpg down hill once you've arrived at work then 47mpg up hill once you've got home), I reckon that up hill drive on the way home must have bean aprox 34mpg to bring the average down that much
I thought these dervs were super pooper on the mpg ??![]()
My FR TDI gave about 40-45 for the first 5 or 6k then 45-50's up till about 12k. This was with the same driving style- mix of conservative and ragging it a bit, motorway and urban.
After 12k it was easy to get 50-55 mpg and rarely dropped below 45, however, after about 14k till now (15.5K) this has significantly dropped and i find it hard to get above 51/52 mpg.
Is there some sort of problem? It was serviced after 6 months at 9K for basic oil change. It is now 12months and 15.5K, could it need another service?
no worries! Thought the name would give it away (Topsy & Tim books from the 70's - I must be old!!) Was said tongue in cheek though! Hope your mpg picks up and you enjoy your wheels![]()
well I was only born in 71 so maybe I missed those books![]()
indeed! one year between us then!
