| "I found that if I drove it really carefully, no rapid acceleration or hard braking etc, then I might, just might get 20mpg.Driving normally around town would get about 18mpg." Were those figures taken from the trip computer? On my Skoda Octavia (2-litre diesel), my average consumption (measured by miles run divided by total diesel bought) is about 44 mpg. But if I set the computer to record the performance since the last fill-up, the mpg figures average about 54 mpg. In other words, be wary of relying on what the computer tells you about fuel consumption. |
