Never thought I'd see the day... - IvorRedOne - 28-10-2013 02:36pm

First time in 20 months that I've managed to hit the 50 MPG mark on any run. Now averaging 40 MPG which is better than the 34 MPG I was getting for the first year. Smile

How did you manage that I'm still getting 25mpg if I'm lucky. Are you doing a lot of motorway driving ?

ED4 I presume!...?

My SD4 showed 47MPG on the Motorway for 30 miles once, but soon dropped off again once I got off the flat.

This has to be the best fuel consumption ever seen posted on here! Here was me thinking I was doing well getting 34.6MPG on a 100 mile run in my Si4, lol. Laughing Paula xx

I got over 50mpg in my eD4 when I went on a long motorway trip, with a few twisty bits. But for normal driving round town, soon goes down (as mentioned) - now at about 38-40

I have had 52.5 on my sd4 manual. Not very often though

Some motorway / A Roads. I plan my journeys better these days. I have a Suzuki Swift DDiS for my town and country lane driving. If I am to travel distance then I use the Evoque for 40 mile plus round trips. Very Happy

Damn that's good going, cannot believe no matter how careful I was driving on the flattest roads, I could ever reach 50mpg... what sort of mileage have you got on the clock?
