Going to work gives me 34ish mpg, and returning gives about 38mpg. This can vary very sharply dependant on weather, temperature, traffic, timing of traffic lights and if it’s decided to do a regen which kills economy. It can be as low as 21 if it’s in regen. But the other morning I got 39mpg on my way in to work. the worst part of this car is the fuel range. A full tank will give around 520 miles. My trip to work is 6 miles. I can loose 5 miles off the range every 2 miles driven….. which REALLY fucks with my OCD and gets on my nerves. I parked up at work this morning with 485 miles left. I started it up tonight to go home and it’s down to 480. Then 475 then 470, then 465 when I arrive at home, 6 miles later. Grrrrrrrr. Not bad for a 3.0 V6 diesel.

Our Mk9 1.8 struggles to get 43mpg and Honda have supposed to worked the engine over the mk8 to reduce losses. Usually motorway trips gets 40-42mpg, no matter how hard we try. I'm hoping a service with filters+plugs+0w-20 will help improve it. Not sure if the estate is less aero dynamic than a hatch either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl1981 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Xj40 is doing is doing 19mpg (mostly town driving short trips when used ) metro about 35mpg (occasional commuting in place of the T5) t25 about 25mpg (on holiday in it last week) t5 2.5 is about 30mpg (wife commutes across town in this and does the school run) my daily diesel Jag is about 50mpg (town driving 9 mile commute). This is the only one with a trip computer and seems pretty accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shedking Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Little pug 206 does 36 around town and 57 on a run. Can't complain because with a whopping 60 French horses from it's 1.1 TU it does take a bit of persuasion to get it up to speed but it will trundle along all day at 65-70 mph quite happily.

Turbowomble Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 11-plate Volvo S60 D3, so the 2.0l 5-cyl lump with 163bhp - brimmed it today and calculated a 39mpg average from the last tank, which consisted mainly of 3 weeks' worth of commuting (24-mile round trip, mainly stop-start to 40mph with a mile or two at 50mph) and an airport run done at "Oh fuck me, we've slept in" speeds. Driven less ape-ishly, you can expect high 50s on a run but it's a bit of a pig round town so it balances out to around low-mid 40s mpg-wise. 70L fuel tank gives solid range, but eye-watering to get it brimmed at these prices (and I'll typically run it to fumes). Worst fill was 29th March, 64.46L @ £1.85 meant that I hit the £99 pay-at-pump limit and then needed another £20 on top to get it brimmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulplom Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 I did 400 miles in the ex kiltox citroen relay mwb with roof rack. Computer says 33.8mpg. £135 to fill it and it used two thirds of a tank. It has a speed limiter set to 70mph but satnav says 66mph. Pug 107 averages 60mpg per tank and is usually driven flat out everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indicated 70 is about 3,600rpm in 5th on the Fabia. Gets pretty feckin grating after some time on the motorway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
