5.4 l/100km over the past 6 months. Opel Grandland. Mostly local driving at that,
No no it was just the Volvo, I was running it on 87 and it recommended 89/91, maybe that was the issue. But a heavy AWD 3.2 N/A engine is gonna be bad 😬
were you towing boats in the volvo?
maybe there was a leak in the fuel tank.
Swapped out my 3.2 Volvo XC70 AWD (which was averaging about 11-12l/100kms
To a Saab 9-3 2.0T sports wagon which is averaging 7.5 l/100kms while having plenty of power !
Average 7.7l/100km in a 2012 diesel avensis mix of city and N road driving.
2006 Volvo S40 1.6 petrol, driving it in eco mode 99% of the time.
I seem to always get 7.2-8 litres per 100 km. Or 35-40mpg.
Yup that's what i meant, lovely big bus to be getting that MPG and not being an noisy diesel :)
according to the trip computer in my 2012 1.2TSi octavia, i've averaged 5.4l/100km for the last 3k km.
i usually stick to about 95-100km/h when on the motorway and it'd usually manage about 5l/100km in those circumstances.
Mines the PHEV, its a 2 litre petrol with electic engine :)
Very good for a non clattering diesel comfort bus :)
2014 MB E class 220, 8.2 Ltrs / 100 Klms. Actual fill to fill calculation, but with a mixture of driving...with lots of hilly and back road driving, and occasionally pulling a trailer included. On board computer gives me silly 5.5 averages at times.
About 70mpg on a 330e...Always charge at home and mostly can charge in work :)
Had a 250 KM trip in my GFs Suzuki SX4 S-Cross the weekend, its a 1.0 litre 3 cylinder from 2018
45MPG @ 120KM/H
50MPG @ 100KM/H

The best I've gotten was 4.1l/100km driving like a saint from Cork to Longford (motorway to Portlaoise, cross country after that), the worst I've gotten was 7.5l/100km (two days driving a course car in a rally). It's typically 5.2l/100km day to day (20 minutes to work). I leave the car set-up with the engine turned up full. I spend time messing with putting it normal and eco modes and they saved nothing. Eco actually burned more fuel as it REALLY killed the engine performance (so was driving with wider throttle openings to compensate). There's a '11 140PS diesel Octavia at home and over one 200km gentle spin around West Cork it got 3.9l/100km. That typically gets 4.3l/100km. The Ducato based camper is a funny one. Driving here in Ireland I get 10.5l/100km, no matter if it's gentle or hard. Pegging it down the Autobahn on German high cetane diesel I get 9l/100km. Running it on proper diesel makes it run a LOT more economical with extra pep in its step also. Funny that......

About an hour of 120 motorway then mixed 100km with reductions for villages etc.. followed every speed limit trying to see mpg Tried eco mode a few times but never really saved much on it +1km here or there so went back into comfort. It puts it into neutral while you are coasting rather than engine braking so that's probably where a lot of gains could be made 335d. Will see if the way home is downhill but the weather was very bad this morning anyway so won't be a fair comparison
