Yours is way more efficient than ours, plus the AWD adds weight compared to the FWD.
Yes I was disappointed mine isn’t the 5pot pre VEA the D4 was the 5pot I think.

At 11p a mile it’s still costing me money on fuel recent trip to the office 200 miles got it up to 48.7 for a while (50mph average speed section of M6)

Interestingly the main dash shows different mpg to the my car setting which seems to work off a trip meter of the last 100hours driving can anyone explain how it works?

£70 of fuel trip was showing 541 miles when I filled up @ £1.287 a litre 45mpg........

To cover my fuel at 11p a mile I need to get better mpg I’m at 13p per mile at present 😔

V40 would be the answer
