Hi
I have been running a 1.6 DSG Altea XL for 6 month now and I am seeing an average of 37mpg, with around 56mpg being the best on an A road/motorway run, 50/60 mph. Just wondering what a 2.0ltr DSG returns?
The brochure lists 64.2mpg (1.6ltr) vs 60.1mpg (2.0ltr), but in real life?
Could it be the smaller engine has to work harder and so has a worse mpg?
For the 2.0ltr guys are the steering mounted paddles of any use? I have used the gear lever in manual control of the 1.6ltr and the cars computer stops it from changing up or down, so I drive in auto only.
