FAO Those who ask Leon FR PD Running Costs

[LukeFR]

Hi All,

I think people might find this useful when looking to a buy a MK2 Leon FR TDi. I must stress this is based on a 2007 '56' Leon 2.0 TDI FR 170 PD Engine which I have covered just over 26000 mile since I acquired it just over 18 months ago.

Nice, I'm sure this will help a lot of people out, and i'ts interesting for me, having only owned mine nearly 2 months .

 

[LukeFR]

Just realised my original registration is on there, but not fussed before anyone says anything - it now resides on a private plate.

 

[markmeus]

Would you share that excel file - wouldn't mind tracking the same sort of info about my own car?

 

[LukeFR]

Of course mate, drop me your e-mail via PM and I'll e-mail it across to you.

I do something similar with mine, writing down everything I do to it. But looks not as pro as yours lol

That is a very very usefull brake down of cost.

The fuel summery is very good shows a good advrage over long periods of mileage

Very usefull guide well done good work

I use the Road Trip app on IOS for this. It tracks your fuel useage, MPG and all your expenses too.

Thanks all, ill email it out to those who have asked today.

You'll need to turn it to your personal though as I have list of garages I use ore populated etc.

Just updated my spreadsheet with about 3 months worth of fuel receipts, now stands at the following

Miles Travelled 33331
Average MPG 43.49
Average Cost Per Mile £0.14p
Total Spent on Fuel £4,750.80

43mpg! Ouch,
If thats what I was getting from a diesel I'd be heading back to petrol!

Why he would probably get 25mpg from a petrol.

 

[LukeFR]

Considering most of my journeys are around town - I'd say 43mpg isn't bad! If I was doing motorway runs, I would probably been averaging 50mpg.

I only average 48mpg on a 140 mile motorway run each week. I stay at around 80 mph though, my zetec turbo was doing well if i got 26mpg on the same run so i can't complain.

I dont mean that you might aswell have a petrol.
In my head if I'm not hitting 55-60mpg I'd rather just have a petrol

I'm weird in the respect that I either go full eco or I go full power (I know its strange)

Last car, 28mpg, nearly 300bhp didnt mind spending $400 a month on fuel.

This car, when I first had it I was unhappy I was only getting 45mpg!
So I adjusted my driving style, remapped and removed DPF 65mpg...

I feel Okay about owning a diesel now!


However Town driving... that economy is pretty good, I naively assumed almost everyone does motorway miles in diesel.
