According to my trip comp, doing a 40 mile round trip along major roads with a few junctions and roundabouts, sitting at a steady 60-65, I showed an average of 29.2 over about 3/4 tank, pretty rubbish really for a 2.0l  :-[

Up to 50.1 mpg on a recent run from Nottingham to North Wales....

30mpg all day long around town.

For the size of the car I cant moan about that

 :y
Petrol or diesel?  I know the Superb is more Vectra sized (cabin space), but must be light footed to get 50mpg from a petrol one though :y.  If diesel, thats pretty poor by today's standards, esp as the Audi 2.0TDi is an economical unit.


Its a petrol 2.0, drove it at 50-55mph from here in Nottingham via the motorway and A55 to North Wales, average was 50.1mpg, came back through the mountains but still showed 41.9 by the time we got home....

Cant really compare it to a Vectra spacewise, its much more spacious....

Getting bored of listening to myself going on about how good a car it is (for our needs).......

 :y :y :y
It is Vectra/Mundano size for cabin space.

Must have a light foot ;D

I think you need to get into the back of one and then say its Vectra/Mondeo size.

Its Passat size plus 4inch extra legroom.....

Did have a light foot, on that journey anyway!! Wanted to see what I could get out of it.....

I am frequently in the back (and front) of one ;)

I'm glad it works for you, but I don't think its anything special.  Its not a bad car, its quite a good car, but not worth creaming your jeans over it at every opportunity ;)
