Hi,
I recently bought a 59 reg Ibiza sport TDI 1.6 but the mpg is much lower than I was hoping. Combined is a claimed 65mpg but my real world trips are 44-45mpg and thats 80%+ motorway at 70mph.
The real time mpg display gives only mid 40s cruising at 2k revs in 5th, which seems low.
My previous car was a 1.9tdi pd fabia, on the same journey I could get 50-55mpg even at 75-80 mph, claimed combined on this car us 57 mpg.
The mpg on the new car is very disappointing, a big part of choosing this car was the mpg. I bought the car from a local Indy dealer, could I reject the car or would a mechanical problem need to be found? Other than that I'm considering trading it in for some thing else as the current mpg will cost me in the long run. I borrowed a friends civic 1.8 petrol VTEC today and averaged 46 mpg on the same run.
