38 mpg , is this normal ?

I have done the first 400 miles of mixed driving , it nearly cleared out its fuel tank .

38 mpg is what the computer says, is this normal ??? For an sd4

What miles does it loosen up ?

Check the Fuelly website and download the calculator and links to there that a few if us have. You are doing quite well getting that on such a low miles car

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

38! That's good
I've done 3k and am getting about 37 ... and I don't really expect it to get much better than that.

38mpg is very good! Normally mine is between 30mpg and 34mpg from mixed driving. However, I'm currently on 26mpg after just driving locally on my current tank - hills, towns and country roads.

48.9 is the best I've had, it's sitting at 33.7 at the moment, short journeys though.

So i guess the 49 mpg in the manual is pure fantasy !

I will fit a tuning box soon to see if it helps
