Not having that one. I have the Pure SD4 and would be lucky to get 320 on a full tank filling up to the brim.

I have done 546 on a single tank, and still had a bit left.

RE: MPG... What's the problem?

Right, its getting to me now......

Currently getting 24mpg. Never been above 30mpg since new. Fair enough, it does not go long distances most of the time, and I don't expect the world from a heavy 4wd, but this is just appalling. Its not driven quickly by any means....

Diesel at the garage near me went up yet again today....

Thinking about bailing while I can still get a decent price to sell. I have enjoyed been able to get about in the recent snow, but friends and family all managed in TT's, Audi A4's etc. it's not the end of the world for 2 weeks a year.

Could be that diesel is not right for you if you are only doing short joureys. the DPF will not regenerate properly and will eventually clog up. This contributes to poor fuel consumption

And it takes at least 15 miles/20 mins for the engine to get fully warm in the winter. Plus mine could easily be below 30 if I drove it like I should!

Been holding back on this out of respect to ye olde way of doing things: (I got busted on this a few years ago too). And, I was self-righteous to the end...

Although it doesn't go far, it does do a daily commute on the motorway/dual carriageway...

RE: MPG... What's the problem?

I agree with both scrannel, no need to leave your engine idling to warm up, infact with DPF it's debatable if that's a bad thing to do, but it still takes 15 mins for the engine to warm while you are driving it and it will run less efficiently while doing this, drive your car 4 times in the 15 minutes of warm up and your mpg will be less than driving it for 1 hour continually.

RE: MPG... What's the problem?

I am a bit confused by all these poor MPG reports.
I have just turned 21,000 miles in the last 11 months and have recorded an average of 38mpg by the cars computer.
I have regularly checked this with manual calculations and it never has been far off.

Maybe some driver are carrying a spare wheel, a glass roof, and a few too many burgers in their bellies Laughing
