New Ibiza TDI MPG!!

[Biker]

Running in an engine is one of those topics that always gets a good debate going. Personally I don't think there is a need to run in a new engine, in fact there is a school of thought that suggests running in is bad for an engine. Have a read of THIS and see what you think. I know the article relates to bikes, but the principle is the same.
Ultimately though it is up to each individual how they treat their car.

I believe cars still need breaking in. I've done 30000 miles in my 1.6 TDI CR - economy hasn't improved however performance has. It seems much more eager than it used to be.

Mine has now done nearly 17500 and economy just keeps getting better, got 67.3mpg on an eighty mile round trip running at max speed limits all the time.The dogs boll***s

Cool! but when you mentioned max speed, which means? The top speed of the car or the road limit?

I get just over 50mpg on a 100 mile motorway run at 75 - 80 mph

Driving on A roads behind other traffic at about 50mph I can easily get 60mpg.

My Car will get 65-70mpg on long 30 - 60mph drives. However, most long distance journeys are covered on motorways at 70mph where I achieve 50mpg.
