Ive got an 2003 1.9 DCI and im averaging about 37MPG, Ive only been driving around town since I reset the trip comp.

I did manage 52 MPG on a motorway trip when I first got it....

Thinking about a re-map, hmmmmm

I've not reset my trip for about 3000 miles and I am getting 38.4mpg from my 1.9DCi CC. I only use BP Ultimate Diesel and I drive like a 19 year old kid so I am pretty pleased to be getting over 38.

Picked up my 2007 1.5dci sports tourer with 42,000 miles on the clock on Monday.

By the time I got back to my home in France we'd covered around 600 miles. Mainly dualcarraigeway and motorways with a good chunk of town and country driving and we were getting just over 52mpg

First tank 626.5 miles on 55.51 l diesel = 51.31 mpg, second tank 504.1 miles on 47.87 l mpg 47.87, have been driving fairly sedatley and was expecting more - last owner it was reading 54mpg but who knows when that was last reset.

Wondering if my black sooty bumper and flat spots is having a negative impact on my mpg?

A holiday trip of some 4000Km (2500 miles) of mixed roads and the result is 4,4 L/100 Km (64,2 mpg). I think that Mobil 1 0w40 and changing all filters (oil, air, diesel) contributed to the result. :D
