I'm running in TD4 XS Auto MY2011 bought last year.

Have been getting to and from work betweetn 27-32 MPG. not great.

Suddengly car develops a read diff problem for the last 3 weeks and booked in for Dec.

Strange thing, now getting between 33 and 40.5 for the same run i do every day...go figure!

..or don't go figure... does this mean the 4x4 is not operating and running as 2 wheel drive, hence better fuel economy?

OK, just clocked 5000 miles today (got the Metro on 26th September)
have been averaging 500 to the tank,-best was 536, worst 480-ish, with approx. 5L left (just as light comes on) Very pleased.  Hit it he said, Hit it!--So I hit it, then he hit me---Doh!

Having had the car for a few months I am getting at least 38 mpg, it's all country lanes round here so pleased thus far. I think for what I paid, the performance, amount of kit and level of comfort makes it a bargain.

my previous XS returned around 36mpg for the 9 weeks I had it

The HSE SD4, the Trip B has never been reset from day 1
so 6893 miles later the average MPG has been 27mpg

the Trip A I reset returns around 33Mpg

just interesting to see the overall over 6k miles

First 1300 miles fill to fill average between 35 and 39 not too bad really and have a 12 mile commute to work each day on motorway seen it creep to 40 ish at 65mph. 2017 Discovery Sport Pure Fuji White "Lynne"

hello everyone
Some advice please, my mpg is not so good
Best I have had was 32mpg on a long run
Most times average 24mpg careful driving
New air filter fitted, tires pumped up etc any ideas where to start I did clean my maf senser, it was clean but very wet
Any help would be good

Where to start looking ?

what type of journey are you doing?

Long steady speeds, or start stop city driving?

i would say the offroad tyres will not help either if you have them Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Just accept it, drive it and enjoy it, my indication is set to 'miles left until empty' and I then fill up again, stress free

A mix off driving
But I reset mpg counter at the start off a motor way drive at 70mph,I've tried 60 mph too I av 28 mpg on a long run
New air filter fitted tires pumped up

I'am off on a 570mile round trip tomorrow

Keep the revs below 2k, above this and the gauge drops, light throttle, do not keep pressing the loud peddle, keep it still. Do not trust the OBC, do it tank to tank, noting the mileage and fuel used at the pump.

Thanks for the info 👍
I normally put cruise control on and get about 370 miles to a tank

I'am In noth Wales now averaged 31 mpg 70mph all the way (when pos) lol
Is that about right
