I have the VEA 2.0 D4 (181) business edition, and the fuel economy is not what is advertised (70+mpg) , but realistically I get mid 50s on longer journeys, even with car + driver + 3 passengers and luggage on a motorway journey it will still do mid 50's. The D4 however does like to be fed on Premium Diesel, and I find I get around 10-15% better MPG on Premium diesel
But to get that I do have to drive it sensibly. Cruise control/speed limiter set at 70, no hurry. Very Relaxed cruiser at that speed. As with all of these cars if you use all of it's power, which there is plenty, it can drink like a fish. The power delivery is very smooth and almost linear, it doesn't feel like a lot of "powerful" diesels where you get nothing then everything then nothing. But - with the VEA engine just look at the thread on the EGR/Cooler. You might be lucky and find one that doesn't have any issues. Last edited by Craig S; Nov 16th, 2018 at 12:49.
