Well I can provide you with the data. It's 2.0 TDI, DSG, 17" and driven for pleaure mostly since I don't regard driving into central London or the east pleasure, so I catch the train. It includes two high speed trips to Austria and two to Germany, the rest if generally motorway driving.

It's bottoming out at 39 MPG. These are briming readings and when I don't brim it, it self corrects. So you get the running average and the tank to tank. Last but two columns. I do drive fast and it isn't chipped. True I only fill up once a month when I'm not on holiday with the car
