Going down to Manchester tomorrow, this will be my longest journey todate, very interested to see what MPG i do get, will keep the cruise on 78/80 MPH all the way down unless I hit roadworks. Anyone guess what MPG i'll get ?
I wont reset just to show off when I'm going down hill or the engine warms up. 

I'm hoping for a round trip of 50 MPG...

GT TDi with Bluefin

If you don't get 55mpg i would be disapointed.

You will be lucky to get 55mpg at 78/80 MPH it all depends on which way the wind is blowing. At 70mph you should get 53mpg well thats what I get from mine.

You can put your spec in your sig then it saves us guessing. You have standard cruise then you must have a GT.

Shame if thats true as our older 1.9 TDI130 i use to use for long trips over the past 6 years avaraged ~55mpg for brim->brim calculations at ~80 speedo reading. I had hoped the newer engine would do similar or better as tech has improved.

I was on a privat road this week and was doing 140mph and getting 36 to the gallon , if that was my old ED30 it would be about 10mpg

Those 1.9 pds are very hard to beat on mpg...........

On a trip from coventry in my revo'd gtd to Cheltenham I got 58 mpg 75-80 all the way but no cruise control so would expect similar

Here u go,
On the down trip 53.8 Mpg on the trip just a shade over 3.5 hours and 213 miles, the crusie was either 78 or 80 all the way with an exception of 5 miles on the M74 and when we got go the M602 then into Manchester
On the up leg 48 Mpg same cruise setting's with even less slow traffic. the round trip was 51 mpg... average speed down was 61 up was 67. In total 445 clock read 90 miles left in the tank

Its a shame you did not fill back up after the trip to work out the exact amount of fuel used and so work out the real MPG rather than the MFA one.

Maybe it was the remap that made mine more economical : )
