edo Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Well I think it is fair to say I wont be posting in here any more! The 320d goes on Friday to be replaced by a 335d. As impressive the mpg is for the power and tourqe, I think 50mpg might be a tall order!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_90 Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Well I'm pleased to announce that I'm firmly back in this club. I'm not convinced that my 80 has been doing the business, but I bought a PD130 Bora at the weekend and today I did 198 miles to Bolton and back at a steady 70-80 (kph, officer) and was very pleased to see this: Now, where's UBM with my new membership card?

edo Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 NEARLY! 49.5mpg on a 50mile journey. Pretty bloody impressive for a 286bhp 3.0 twin-turbo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvantSE Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I think for the first time, today, I can confirm my A4 TDi has managed a good 52mpg - the fuel range read 815 miles, the highest I have ever seen by some 60 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizze Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I got 54mpg from the 320d auto over the last tank, very impressed with that. Annoyingly it was showing 57 for the first 3/4 of a tank, but then picked up some BBS wheels from someone and left the engine running for over 10 minutes while talking and it dropped to 56 and on then with traffic and running a little late it dropped to 54. Having 5 extra wheels in the car probably didn't help either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kite Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Well I never thought I would be posting here, but on the drive to work I managed 50.1MPG on DIS1. I had to drive like a granny (wont be doing that again) photo evidence to follow. I await my membership card ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rottenbend Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 I'm getting 50.4 MPG from the 320d coupe over the last 3000 miles - most of the time in town and on B-roads and I don't hang about. From my rough calculations at fill up time seems to be pretty accurate too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oli Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 This is a club, that I have decided never to join, not even the half 50mpg club!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopsta Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 I'm back in well for this tank atleast.... few motorways trips with the outlaws in the car... just under 54 mpg Might even treat it to some v-power as a treat, blow the extra economy i've had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 hurumph..... with a 3.0 TDI I've got no chance of joining this club... Now if it was the 45mpg club!!!!!!! then that would be a different matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riz Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 I did the following trip on wednesday and I got these figures from my SEAT Arosa TDi S. Sheffield (M1S, M25E, M11S, A12E) to Romford, the 5 miles (W) back towards London on the A12... then back home the same route. Filled up in Sheffield, about £37.00 approx Got back to Sheffield wednesday night and the fuel light came on after I had been out for a pizza. Run it with the light on as it usually has 10 litres left. Took the readings today before filling up. 395 miles using 29.25 litres of diesel, its a 35 litre tank, so still plenty left" Riz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

collease Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I'm averaging 51.4 at the moment so just sneaking in to the exclusive club but for how long. It will only take one silly bit of driving and i could be out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mollox Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Err, knock knock, my S3 was a little sick the other day and popped into limp mode for a while. After a bit of very relaxed driving and a fill up, my trip comp was implying a range (almost 600 miles) equivalent to 48.1 mpg for a good 15 mins!! This from a car that averages 22 or so. Surely that is worth some kind of frugal driving award! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_90 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Phil_S - that's impressive!! Mollox - must try harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBM Posted April 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Feck me - I can't believe this thread is still going. Still getting a steady 42-44mpg from mine and no mroe noticeable soot. Had it nearly 4 years now and finally stopped adding extra oil! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_S Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Phil_S - that's impressive!!Mollox - must try harder. yeah, it was one of those lucky days when nothing got in my way the roads were dry and nothing on the other side so i could cut all the corners but i usually average between 50 - 55 unless a little corsa or something wants to try me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 For some reason, my mpg has shot up from 52 ave to 57!!! The only thing I can think of, is that I put in 2 half tanks of V-Power. There is also the possibility of me driving a bit slower on the 60 mile trip home on 1 or 2 evenings, but that's about it. It is all clear dual carriageway/motorway mind you, and I sit at about 70 - 80 mph, cutting corners and roundabouts as and when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
