    My Porsche 944 is about 27-32mpg on a journey.

    Town is the worst at about 15-18mpg

    I dont really mind as I dont use it all the time.

    My daily hack Mondy TDDi Estate gets me about the same as everybody else 45mpg

    968 3.0 Tip, about 23mpg, manual one about 26mpg. Drive the crap out of them and it gets worse.

    Saab 9-3 150bhp, 38mpg.

    45 Litre tank ;)
    I would estimate it at 50 + MPG

    Exactly what I get :cool:
    Around the time the beeper goes off you can get in about 40 litres? He never lets it go far below that and gets 800km

    OP - Topaz supply the fuel to Tesco so it can't be any different!

    '02 Laguna 1.9 Diesel ST

    Overall averaging 50.4mpg which I'm happy with.

    Previous Golf GTI 8v managed to average about 34mpg over the same terrain.

    sorry, I am compelled to correct my above post re: 968 Tip. (I can't believe I'm doing this, tbh).

    Last Sat, topped up, drove to Mallow (via Cratloe, Co Clare), and then to Cork for a gig in the Marquee. Drove back to Mallow, overnighted, and back to Galway, Sunday. Monday, wife goes to Galway, commute, etc, and I took the car to work yesterday, and today.

    Total miles covered: 288.6
    Total litres used (necked it Sat and this a.m.): 44.6

    That's 29.3mpg !! :eek: :D:D

    Don't you just love 3.0 cars.......:p :p:p

    2005 Ford Focus 1.4L Hatchback.
    Did 660KM with a littler over average of 40/MPG.

    It all depends on what kind of driving im doing. Sometimes it can be as low as 36/MPG, but would be mostly around 38/MPG.

    My 1.6 automatic scenic averages 30mpg but I can get 39mpg if I drive like I am 70.
    These figures are according to my computer though so could be a little off.

    06 Leon 1.6. 55 litre tank gives ~600km or 34 mpg (usually from about 50 litres). I use the air con a lot so that probably makes a difference and usually have some files and crap in the boot.

    Driving like a granny can creep it up to about 700km but this really does involve a 80km/h cruise on each journey.

    I try to think of 40mpg as some sort of benchmark but to be honest I've given up even worrying about it no. Just fill it when it's quarter full and drive on

    Passat TDi (130)

    City/Town - 28MPG
    M1 - 46MPG (140-160kph)
    N4 - 54MPG (100kph)


    I would be happy getting 42mpg or more on the N4. I don't think I'd like to be getting less unless I had a nice very powerful engine under the bonnet.
