ibiza 1.6 tdi cr- mpg!!1

[dannybtw1989]

is it just me or is anyone else gettin bad mpg on the 1.6 tdi cr
i only seem to be gettin 40 mpg and i do motorway miles, by the book its supposed to do over 60 :S confused...

 

[markmeus]

How many miles are on your car?
I can get 48-52 on motorways and high 50s normal driving.

No good round town though - thankfully I live in the country

As markmeus said, how worn in is the engine? With more use on it will become more loose and give better MPG.

My 1.4 Sport started at 38MPG now I can get 50MPG on a motorway journey

My Dads Audi CR is brand new and his first run got 67.9mpg. He has already seen 70 once but was driving conserved. It seems to vary engine to engine.

oooo ive only done 3k miles :O

I can get 60-70mpg out of it at a cruise controlled 50mph, 50-55mpg @60mph, 40-45@70mph, and 35-40 above that.
after 11k miles.

You should be able to get mid 50's at 70/80MPH, 40-45 is way too low.

Cruising at 65mph on the motorway, I get about 70mpg out of mine.

Mine's definitely a friday afternoon car!

My car 1.6 tdi gets between 55 and 65 on average. however the other day i managed 95 mpg average on a motorway/60mph journey over 20 miles. I was shocked! Must have been some real slow tunes on the stereo!

 

[gaffer1986]

I have 7000 miles on the clock and struggle to get more than 50 mpg at 70 mph. The 1.6 TDI CR seems less economical than the noisy old 1.9 TDI PD 130. (60 mpg at 70 mph).

 

[craigmk6]

my average is 46mpg but ive only done 400miles so far lol

 

[Rob-TSI]

@ 65 mph my 1.4tsi gets between 60-70mpg using cruise control

Just filled up today 53.99 litres (vented brimmed tank) from a vented brimmed tank only got 52 mpg!! car has only got 1200 mile on it.

I had been expecting to be very close to the official combined figure, but it looks like my car is going to be a long way short of the mark.

Checked the tyre pressures this evening 30 in front 27 in the back, have raised them to 33f & 30r see if that helps

I know there is time for the engine to loosen up as the mileage goes up, but my 06 Fiesta 1.6TDCi returned 59MPG at the same mileage.

The amount of fuel in the tank doesn't affect the mpg figure, well it will in that your car is heavier so will use more fuel.

I know mine is the 2.0 TDi and maybe my engine is doing slightly less work meaning less fuel. But I can get 55mpg without really trying too hard, I'm surprised the 1.6 is returning these figures.

I was going to state the mileage covered on those 53.99 litres but the figures are on my desk at work. Yes I know the amount in the tank does not affect the consumption what I was trying to explain was that is was full tank to full tank so I know this is an accurate amount of fuel rather than using the fuel computer.
The car I have just parted with was a 2.0 TDi Passat, I covered 53000 miles in 21 months the overall consumption was 50.5mpg! the official combined figure being 50.4mpg
My previous car a Fiesta 1.6TDCi the official figure was 64.7mpg over the 24 months and 57000 mile the overall consumption was 65+mpg. Previous to that was a Picasso 2.0 HDi official combined figure 50.6mpg, 4 years and 111000 miles 51 MPG

So with the mileage I do and my style of driving I know the combined figure is achievable so I am expecting to be very close to the official 65mpg but unfortunately I'm nowhere near it and reading this thread, I'm not the only one!!!

Bootingit home tonight and I was still getting 45 mpg! Passenger who has previously owned a cooper s, imprezza and audi was very impressed with how the car handled.

 

[dannybtw1989]

there is no way a tsi would do that mate. your not coming up with an average figure, just a mile or so on the mway!!!

Last I checked this was a thread about the 1.6 tdi! And I can assure u my figures are correct and there Is no motorways included.
