I recently bought the above and to date appear to be getting 29mpg. I was expecting 35-38. Any comparisons out there?

A few miles after buying mine I was in Cornwall then back to Yorkshire, average MPG showed as 38.5, haven't a clue on the city commuting trips but probably so crap I'm not interested.
Remember to reset between motorway and urban/city driving else it will take both lots of consumption into account.

On a motorway run I can get over 37 so happy with that, SWMBO pottering around town is getting 30 to 31 so again happy with that.

Last week 540 miles round trip to Aberdeen, mixed roads,15 miles in forrests and 2hours driving up and down service area at 15 mph. 38.6.
All main roads at legal max speed. All FL2's (3) Gone
2011 Mercedes C180 CGI Gone
FL2 GS Auto SD with heated leather, factory tints, alloy spare and a few other bits.

All depends on what driving your doing

My avg last year was 22.5mpg (fill up to fill up)

So far this year it's higher at 24mpg as I have done a few more longer drives were the trip says 30+mpg Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I'm getting around 34 on a pretty average mix of routes and driving style. Brian

I seem to settle on or around 34 over a few weeks. Considering that it has a 5 mile commute during the week when I dont cycle, which in the winter is everyday, I'm pretty happy with it. My previous A4 returned 40 with the same usage. For a free country, it does seem pretty expensive these days.

I have GS auto, I used to get 23-sh when new but after 10000 miles its around 29-33 but on a steady motorway run over 300 miles I managed 42.2 ! I get better MPg on BP I. Don't use supermarket fuel. One tank of that and MPg dropped and the edge went off the performance so it didn't work out a saving

22.5mpg Is that all , mine is doing better than that towing

on a motorway run i get at least 39mpg - have had a 42.6 which my old TD4 could only dream of!! Round town stop start I get about 30-32mpg. Now - 2017 BMW X3 M Sport Carbon Black
Gone - 2014 BMW X3 M Sport Space Grey, faultless!
Gone - 2011 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Bali Blue with xenons
Gone - 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Rimini Red with bodykit

In the real world, the SD4 auto should see an average of between 26 and 32mpg depending on driving style. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

My I6 is showing 12 L/100 Kms on the trip computer which converts to 23.54 MPG.
Not as bad as I thought to be honest - for an automatic, petrol 3.2L engine.

Dunno how accurate the trip computer is though
