Yup, I get a drop too as I leave them to warm up while getting ice off. Plus with Leather the bum warmers have to be on for a good part of the journey.

That said I averaged 59mpg on the way to work this morning, 340 miles and just nudged over half a tank used. 

320 miles outof my last tank, and I bet I had more fun in the process

Must have been dull, I got 240 out last tank on the 3.2

Lol, I see VW nobbled the fuel computer as well as the emissions then

Given they have a 70 litre tank then half a tank is about 7.5 gallons......which gives a calculated 49mpg

Given I had a crappy run last week, when the M3 was bust and it was stop start all the way, I'm happy at 49 over the course of a tank. It's been used around town a fair bit as well over this tank. I have seen 720+ miles from a tank on run up norf.

Which is still 49mpg

Which is easily doable,my old 200k A3td will do that all day long

That 1.9 or the 2.0? - I was late for an event at the weekend, spanked it there with 90mph odd cruise and heavy right foot from junctions. Still averaged 47mpg 

Old 1.9

A far better engine to the 2.0 that replaced it

I managed a healthy, respectable 27mpg from last tank of tractor fuel in the Battlebus.

My 2002 Mazda 626 TDI estate always returned 46mpg on my daily commute & on a long run 56mpg bought it new but by 2010 the rust was really starting to set in, also started to jump out  of 2nd gear traded it in for the Mig.

We used to get 46mpg from our ancient L series 2.0 soot chucker Rover, and being a lease/company car, it was ragged everywhere.

If Mrs TB used it for any length of time, it was at least 10mpg better.
