My V40 1.8i says I'm doing 44mpg, actual is about 40 (mix of town / motorway). Front tyres are due for replacing so maybe the difference in diameter beween old/new tyres explains some of the discreprancy.
More relevant to you though I think is a Merc 2.2 diesel I used to drive would average 50 - 55mpg motorway driving, in fact if you got less than 50 mpg you were doing something wrong. It's about middle of their range so not huge but still a bit of a tank. Fast driving = low 30s mpg (late for something once - had my foot down), 'easy' driving 60mpg poss. Brim to brim showed computer accurate to 0.1mpg. |
