Default Mpg

Hi all.

My D3 is never going to be a hypermiler, but I'm thinking my MPG is a little low, even for winter. The last tank has been say 45% motorway at 80-85 and the rest pretty short journies (when I've not been able to use the wife's Honda) driven conservatively. Maybe the car idled for an hour when I was updating the MMI.

Should I be expecting more than ~27mpg? Was expecting a tad more...

I have VCDS (eBay cable) and it can't communicate with the engine, all other modules are ok. When I've used VCDS' generic OBD scan on the engine no faults are registered. Annoyingly it scans other Audis just fine!

Cheers. John.
