Don't forget US gallons are smaller than imperial gallons and the octane rating of petrol in the US is typically 91-93 compared to 95-97 here.

In Germany you can buy "Racing 100" or even 101 which gives great performance but it's typically €1.70 a litre.

Worth knowing that Shell and Tesco sell "super" which is 99 octane rather than the usual 97 sold in UK.

Just returned from a round trip to Kent, done 738 miles which was mixed driving achieved 44.4 mpg, SD4 Manual,total mileage on Evoque 847miles, more than happy with that

great if i manage that in the td4 when it arrives i will be happy.

2000 miles in with my Si4 and getting about 24 MPG, not too shabby but not great either!

I looked at mine yesterday and with the short runs im doing with plenty of playing i think its about 22mpg on the 190bhp diesel.

Wow. That's great. I'm in a sd4 auto. Done 1000 miles. Mixture of motorway and city. I'd say 40/60 split accordingly. Averaging 31mpg.

Had an hours test drive in a Si4 yesterday that had 1300 miles on the clock and it was showing 26.6 mpg after driving quickly along some back roads then trawling through town traffic on the way back.

It was enough for me to change from the Sd4 to the petrol as I'm doing low mileage, short journeys and was really impressed with the engine.

The highest I have got was 45.9mpg from Walsall to Peterborough! At the moment I have to go through Birmingham in the morning and evening at rush hour and I'm getting just over 37 which isn't too bad as there is a bit of start stop traffic and then usually a nice clear run once I get past Birmingham. Cars done 2700 miles and is an sd4 and have had it exactly 1 month today!
