Just got back from a weeks holiday, covered 910 miles, including motorways, town centers, mad roads around Snowdonia! and country lanes in Lancashire, The Fl averaged 43.8 mpg.I'm quite pleased with that.

Had mine for a tank and a third which transfers to 750 + miles, it is slightly worse than my Audi A6 auto deisel BUT only just!!  2010 FL2 XS Auto in Santorini Black with HSE alloys

She gets 380-400 miles per tank from our Auto FL2 mostly around town

I get 200-225 miles per tank @ £110 a pop - lucky work pays  I know

Round town I get 300miles a tank in my auto

I nearly always get 500mls per tank with manual, but usually fill it up before the 500 mile point.

I got 40mpg on a long run, but average around 33-34 mpg.

I'm the same as you Iain, put £70 in, does about 500 miles

I just drive carefully, don't accelerate like Jenson Button, and use Cruise control on the Mway

On a recent long run i averaged 43mpg, it was mainly motorways, round town doing the usual stuff 35-37.

On a long run I do find that i can improve mpg by 1 or 2 by not using cruise.

this morning i slowly drove to the petrol station and reset my trip as soon as started, crept up to a handsome 19.1mpg in 3miles drive from cold

Filled up and I had done 310miles (65.34L and 21.57mpg)

In to the dealers on the 20th for them to look at it  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I agree (blame CG for that)

It depends on the duty of your car - my wife and I drive her car like Miss Daisy!

I'm sure that, going on tyre wear on some cars here you drive your cars a lot harder!

Pinks, have you tried using the manual mode to help change up faster? I know

i have try the manual shifting, but get bored of doing so and forget to change, which then means pulling away and the car screams at me  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

There must be something wrong with our car then, 2010 manual S so no cruise. Just had a week in Cornwall, max MPG on motorway = 34.5 and that was using the power of 'The Force' to will the numbers up! Did a calculation on holiday , cost £71 to fill up from just under 1/4 full and that equated to 28.25 MPG which really is hopeless. Did a 170 mile round trip in our 1.9tdi A4 on Sunday, got 53mpg all the way (knew I should have bought the quattro version of this instead of the FL2!). Have noticed that the slightest hill and the MPG is badly affected as does any form of acceleration. When I took it into the dealer, they said there was nothing wrong with it but I don't know how they tested the fuel consumption.
