The most I have had, whilst trying to drive for max range was 630, I normally get an indicated 540 when I fill up!

Incidentally when i had the car serviced I had a loaner 130Tdi saloon (no Quattro either), and I managed to use 5% less fuel than in the quattro!

Now why didn't anyone tell me before I got the thing that you have to drive like a pensioner to get decent mileage out of them? Like : "Yeah it'll probably do about 35 to the gallon if you drive it quickly". All I was hearing was "I drive like a looney and get 700 miles from a tank!"

The average over the 3000 miles I've done has only just gone over 40mpg. I'm not impressed!

That should still be way better than a petrol car. I do drive like a looney, yet still spend about the same as someone i work with who has a 1.8 petrol A4, does about half my daily mileage, and drives sensibly.
