Wasnt it reading 800 miles left the other day? Mine was saying about 415 miles on the way to Milton Keynes too
After 3 days of TDi ownership, I'm amazed at the MPG. I've done about 360-370 miles since I filled up and I've still got at least another 100 miles left in it. I'm not used to this. With my 2.0 it'd be empty by now.
I reckon I could do the 100 miles a week for my 4 days at work and then drive to Croft in North Yorkshire for the BTCC and back on the same tank. I will be trying that next month.

my personal best is 653 or summin like that but i could have got more but i needed to fill up for a longer trip at the weekend. I reckon over 700 just is possible from a vented tank for me if i did mostly motorways, its those damn A-B roads which knock it down.
Does anyone really care how many miles they get out of their car. I like the diesel. But theonly reason i have one is because i do 300 miles a week and it would not make sense in having a petrol as i would be skint. The leon tdi is a good compromise between economy and performance. But i would deffo have a petrol if i worked locally. I would have a supra twin turbo or audi s4.

I think they must do as we are all talking about it!
I have to say im not really bothered, i never bought the car for fuel economy, i bought her because i loved her and if she drinks petrol then so be it as i wouldnt change how much she drinks for the world! I only starting really looking at the sort of miles i get to a tank recently anyway and im on my second cupra so it obviously doesnt bother me that much
I think the point Askara was making was that she got
loads of miles out of it and wanted to share it with us! I think thats why anyway, after all i was behind her most of the time she was getting this total so can see why she did 
Oh and Askara i hope your on a mission to get 800 now?

I do. I couldn't go on putting £38 of petrol into the car every week and it being down to under half a tank after I'd finished my 4 day working week. Done a fair bit of driving these past few days and from the figures I'm getting, it'll help me a lot, as my 12 mile drive to work is on A and B roads, no M'ways or dual carriageways. I was getting between 26 and 30mpg coming back from work the other week in the 2.0 car.
Another factor is that I drive down South an awful lot and a friend of mine is down in Buckingham, so I'll easily be able to go there on one tank from now on, without having to spend a fortune on unleaded.
i win 
regularly got around 800 each tank, have achieved 900, and had the computer reading over 1000
spose i'm dis-qualified tho, coz it's a 75lt tank in the Pug, and costs £70 to fill it up.
Even nailing it round town returns over 500 miles each time
