Pfft!

Wifey's latest return journey of 266miles, returned 41.9 mpg including some heavy motorway traffic, queues at junctions ( stop/start well used) and just slightly illegal on cruise control on motorways where possible!

Well happy;-) Thinking I'll let her keep it ;-_) Kola is the big solid black German Shepherd, Dobbie is.......a breed you've never heard of......yet;)

2250 miles, mix of motorways (fast), daily commute A+B roads- stop start into manchester and even using Hill descent down side of steep hill in Wales= 38.7mpg per computer

I get 31-33mpg most of the time (SD4). I don't think that is too bad, seeing as my journeys are quite short. Hopefully the MPG will increase during the 2000 mile trip around Spain and France.

I now regularly get 64mpg since I got rid of the FL2 and moved to my wife's Skoda City go

I was putting £85 a week in the FL2 now doing the same miles at more than half the price and feeling better for it, just got the wait till my Seat Leon FR becomes available in a few weeks.

We have averaged around 32mpg ever since we have owned ours since August 07. Ours is a Dec 2006 model.

On a decent run, at a steady 60mph, near on 50 is possible, but she averages an easy 44/45mpg. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

Yeah my differs
If i have the misses in the freely i'm averaging just below 40mpg - but if i'm out on my own I'm averaging just above 25mpg

Went on a long drive to lakeside the other day and got

I'm sure it is right
I drove 16 miles yesterday, no stop start and at around 40/50 mph
The average was 53.8 Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

My screen has been telling me that I'm only doing 31.2mpg! I've even driven like a granny and it hasn't changed.

He he.... what have I started...

I have to say I'm happy as I was only just topping 31 when I got this so I'm pleased as I think I'm driving it better. By the sound of it I've still gotten some scope to go so hopefully the terraclean session I have planned will help there.

End of the day this is a game for me as I knew what I was getting but with this latest one I'm close to what my old Saab 1.9 TX auto was getting...

33 mpg mixed driving, commute, town and towing a 1250kg caravan aprox 200 miles on the first tankful since purchase 2 weeks ago. I would expect 40+mpg solo and 30+mpg towing given the computer is showing 31.4 mpg just towing about 100 miles today through stop-start holiday traffic and m/way keeping the speed around 60mph. That is using Shell with 2SO additive at around 1:175. eh tu?

40+ solo and 30+ towing; the later is probably the best you will ever get, no matter how I drove, A roads, town always gave 34 and motorways around 38 that was a 2008 manual.

There are so many variables which affect mpg beyond simple traffic conditions including tyre choice 9width and and rolling resistance), fuel, weather conditions, driver style/behaviour and so on. I personally find a car that gets a regular Italian tune-up tends to retrun better mpg figures than one that never gets above 2000rpm....... eh tu?
