Title: Quick Question regarding Fuel Economy
Post by Robzere31 on Jul 24^th, 2009, 12:36pm

Hi all,

Just a quick question for anyone who runs a 2.5TD Estate.
What sort of MPG do you get?

35 to 40, depends a lot on how you drive it though ;)

If it's the way you drive it won't be anything like that Stuart, more like 10 - 15. ;D

Yep, just wanted a rough idea though.

Seems I'm getting around 35mpg ATM, but I have been up & down motorway going to work,
& my speed tends to creep up without me knowing ;D Had it once or twice well over 100 without realizing :P

One of the few things that my old 306 was good for was it's economy.
Regardless of how it was driven, it would still do around 50mpg.

Although, that said I was losing the will to live driving 300 miles a week in it }{

:o Think I'd lose the will to live if I had to travel 300 miles a week to work.
