Interested to read these comments as I've just got a new V50 1.6 diesel (company car) and the fuel consumption is not as low as expected. Can anyone advise how long it takes for the engine to loosen up and give something like the advertised levels of consumption? I managed to get an average of 51.4mpg today on a 58 mile run, with some stop/start but with a longish stretch of motorway which I grannied along at just under 60mph.
Thanks in advance for your help.

(no prizes for guessing what my previous runabout was!!)
