Title: Average MPG
Post by: scarr89 on 04 September 2011, 22:27

What are every bodies average MPG for there respective diesels, would like to compare to see if I have MPG paranoia or am keeping up with some of you lot!

I have a 150pd '02 plate with 110k on the clock and today on a 170mile trip 90% on motorways doing no more than 80mph and driving sensibly I averaged 52mpg...should I be upset with that? :huh:

Remapped 130pd (asz engine) seeing about 55mpg on an average 30 mile trip but get it in the 60's on motorways for a lot of the journey.
Sixth gear at about 75ish mph I find most economical.

i average 47mpg but almost all my milage is in the town as my daily commute is 10miles and i reckon 8 of that it is in traffic! noticed recently my mpg is dropping and im struggling to get over 40mpg in town and only 45mpg at 60mph which leads to me to think that something is up!

Just got 56.8mpg on 170mile trip 80% motorway driving, average speed 60mph. Very pleaesed with this. Took my EGR out the other and gave the manifold a good clean, I am assuming this would have aided the economy, or was it me just driving semi sensibly  :grin:

My cars a gt tdi 115bhp 140,000 miles I do about 15 mile a day so short jorneys really if I drive her hard it does about 36-38 if I drive it slow it will go up to 42-46 and once im on a run it will do 52-55  either way its far better than any petrol car I have owned and I dont think I would buy another petrol car again.. :grin:
