Leon FR CR TDI 170 Fuel Consumption.

Hi guys

Just made the move from an Ibiza Cupra DSG to a Leon FR CR 170 TDI. Just wondering how many miles people are getting out a full tank of diesel?

Average about 47 mpg with mine so get around 550 miles out of a tank.

Sounds good. My Cupra was only getting about 270 miles to a tank even with me driving it like a bitch. Can't believe how much better this car is compared to the Cupra. Loving it.

500 plus unless you have a heavy right foot! one thing ive learned is that if im in traffic doing 60-65 mpg i get better mpg leaving the car in 5th gear

Do you guys do venting? How much is it to fill up the tank? Don't get paid till Thursday so waiting till then to fill it to the brim lol

 

[marty_34]

70-75 quid to fill up the tank from near empty, might less now 10p has gone off litre of diesel

It's pretty good. That's a mixture of town, A & B roads and dual-carriageway driving.

Nah, generally fill back up when it's down to 1/4 of a tank or so. Usually costs around £60 (but that's for Shell V-Power diesel).

Magic! I'm glad to be back in a diesel. Used to have a MK4 GT TDI 150 and loved it. Tried the petrol Cupra and it's made up my mind. I will never go back to petrol again!

I like it but I think I'll be going back to a petrol for my next car as I want something easily tuneable. After seeing what the 2.0 TFSi is capable of I want something with that engine.

Have you tuned up your FR?

Nah. Still standard. If I did decide to keep it after the warranty has run out I'd remap it etc. To be honest I'd really love a Golf R but can't afford one yet.

Who can afford them! lol

Lol. Certainly not me that's for sure. They are dropping in price though.

Only 430 miles out of my tank, mostly town driving and remapped with bluefin.
