Yesterday evening I drove from Blandford, Dorset to Haverhill, Suffolk and was very surprised and pleased at the fuel economy.
Once out of town, I reset the trip computer and the average according to the DIS display for the journey was 35.1 MPG. I know in reality its going to be less, but even so compared to the computer on my previous car which was a 2.0 TDi DSG Skoda Superb MK2 which could only manage 44MPG on the computer for the same trip. The route was all main roads though, A31, M27, M3, M25, M11, A14 then A1307.
