Sorry - yes it is a diesel. The 90 litres for 600 miles is 30 mpg but I recall that I refilled on empty signal but in fact 10 litres still left - so basically 34 mpg mainly motorway with some small amount. around town at destination
Thanks for info, I'll pass on tonight. We were discussing MPG down the pub a couple of weeks ago, and how disappointed he was in the MPG - otherwise a lovely car, but too big for him being the LWB version, he found too cumbersome around town and carparks. His normal driving style allows him to get 50+ from his (currently broken 1.9TDi A4), so I think he found it as a shock, esp when he was getting 25mpg from a clapped out 740 from the late 90s.
I didn't realise they were that much over 2 tons though
, that's Range Rover type weights
. Certainly helps explain the economy
