Very, by all accounts.

If you're getting 50MPG then you should be doing a little dance :)

940 on a tank is 61mpg :shock: , a bit optomistic me thinks :? Low 50s is good mate.

Welcome to the club by the way :)

Thanks.

Iv just come from a 2.0 TDI touran, which used to get 48mpg so was hoping for a bit more. especially as the extra urban for the car is 60mpg...

Will see how this tank goes and do a calulation at the end.

Will be booking in for a remap sometime this month, having had my last 4 cars mapped.

I always found my pretty good, but normally 1 or 2 mpg lower than it did.

Just worked out if I can average 96mpg over the next 10,000 miles it will pay for the Diesel related repairs last week 8)

Now, where's those ballet shoes? :lol: :lol:
