did 250 miles back from Cornwall, mainly motorways (@80mph ish 
) on about 5/8's of a tank ... if someone wants to figure it out, I make it about 50 mpg (i think...)
I'd imagine i could have topped 60 mpg if i'd driven a bit more sensibly. It's a 1.9 TDi FR btw.

I did a run from South London to Wakefield and back last December and got 61.7 mpg running at around 85 mph most of the way.
I was well pleased, but sadly when I calculated it manually it turned out as 59.15 mpg, I so wanted to break the 60 mpg over the 500 miles but driving that carefully and slowly getting up to speed was mind numbing!
Still, I regularly get 50 mpg with lots of short station runs and blats down the B roads which does me nicely!

I can get an average of low 60's in my company diesel astra over a tank if I sit at 60 on the cruise, well easy.
Over 50 miles on the motorway I could prob get it up to 70-75MPG if I tried hard.

56 mile commute a day and i got 59 mpg this morning, one of my better mpg's usually get about 55. The most i ever got was 67mpg over 12 miles on the way back from my girlfriends, needed a game to keep me awake as it was 2am most boring 12 miles i have ever done though!

on a trip to Milton Keynes down the M1 doing 65-70 the computer was reading 67mpg in my FR TDi, average trip to work tends to retrn between 56-63mpg depending on what mood im in......
I knew these tdis were good but this is ridiculous. Why would anyone buy a small engined petrol anymore.
thanks to P-Torque, i got 63.1mpg today in my Leon 2.0 TDi before my highest was 61.5
im averaging about 59-60mpg, comapared to 54-55mpg last week.
again many thanks to Will.

on my ibiza fr tdi best iv got is 72.4mpg on a 40mile round trip worst was umm 28.6mpg but this was on the auto barn with foot flat to the floor in 6th my mate bmw 320 petrol was doing 30 when driving normally and something like 18.7 when following me hehe i love tdi and fuel prices by me petrol is 1p more haha
on my way to work i usually get around 65mpg. This is a 33 mile trip. However on my way home i'm usually looking at around 50 - 55mpg due to traffic and fact i want to get home.
How do you manage to get these high figures? Most I've ever had was 60mpg on a really steady run.
My normal work run is only 4 miles through town although all main roads with roundabouts & most I've ever got was 47mpg on a clear run.
On motorways showing indicated 70mph, I normally average only 44-46mpg. I have same car as you with DSG & Superchips re-map. If anything has been slightly better after chipping but still way down on your figures!
had my ibiza cupra TDi for 2 weeks and averaged 45mpg including 2 long motorway journeys, but lots of B road twistys... very impressed
