The fuelly app calculates it correctly as far as I've tested. Did you do your first calculation from full tank to full tank?


No, my first entry on Fuelly would’ve been my second fill up which wasn’t queue on the red light.

How did you set the app up?

I’ve been using my car in Normal mode, plus holding onto gears longer to keep ACT active this week. I’ve had a noticeable difference in fuel economy. My usual journey to work has been registering at 52mpg on the OBD.

I typically get 30-35 mpg with careful driving around town (usually in eco mode) - and that’s in London with very stop start and slow traffic.
On a motorway run with cruise control on 70-75mph and in normal mode I’ll get 45-50mpg typically.

Was hoping to get closer to the claimed 57.6mpg on runs but I guess this was before they introduced the WLTP following dieselgate 😅

Long term after ~15,000 miles my calculated average is 41.5mpg.
Overall I find this engine a decent blend of performance when you want it and efficiency!

I have a 2014 1.4 Leon FR Non-ACT (140bhp engine) and my average over 3500 miles is currently sitting at 45.9mpg on the dash. This is mainly driving too and from Manchester from London, but when I'm not on the motorway I drive it pretty hard. Around town I average 30-40 normally, or 25-30 when I'm driving it harder

Man I wish I got the 1.4 instead of 1.5 and I very nearly did but paid more for a slightly newer year thinking it would be better
