SD4 Automatic MPG

I think you will find that the aircon does not run off an engine based pump. I think it is electric. Those who know better than me may be able to confirm.
I was told at my old garage that modern air con does not drain systems like they used to.

Thanks, but I don't think the current entries have been moved... I think Tim polled 37 mpg if I remember right. Maybe we should start a clean poll now that the scale has moved? Sorry mods - can that be done?

As you can see the votes are set to zero. I can't do moe than that I'm afraid.
Cheers

Thanks Griff.

OK GIRLS AND GUYS. CAN YOU PLEASE REPOST YOUR (TRUE) MPG FOR YOUR SD4S!!!

THANKS!!

If that does not work we will delete the poll and start over again.
Here's hoping.

Two points, I have posted my "overall" average, I have actually found it quite easy to get 40+mpg on the trip computer. However in my experience trip computers con you, or flatter you by 2-3mpg. Evoque has 3 trip computers - trip A, trip B and then an average trip computation. These are in addition to the normal odo. Also on the ave TC you can get instant consumption - great when it goes to 999.9mpg, disaapoining a microsecond later when it shows 10!

Aircon - I never switch it off auto, all I do is change the temperature setting now and again, so it's running all the time as a dehumidifier rather than a chiller

Many thanks

Just stopped at Hilton Services north of Birmingham having left west London at 08:15, now 10:15 here's a photo of the TC, it may be blurred I cannot see as posting from an iPhone, mpg is 43.3 I think.

43.4 - now thats more like it!

Good to see it heading into the 40's Tim obviously on Motorway driving, hopefully as your engine beds in it'll improve further, I was surprised by the initial 50mpg claims but if we can be firmly in the 40's on long runs that's pretty respectable.
