That's from the dash readout. My drive home was not quite so sedate and it only dropped to 22mpg! Back to behaving nicely tomorrow. It's good to boot it once in a while though...  MG

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.

First fill up after a weeks driving.
Driving included one trip (of 38 miles) at 55mph max managed to get 28mpg. After that it was all down hill as I had to follow one my general manager back to his and he was in a hurry... you can guess the result! My trip home was similarly silly but it was the first time I'd put my foot down so I was interested as to what it would do. The next two trips were to Heathrow and back at a steady 85mph with the occasional poke to get past traffic. A few more trips to work and back and the read out was on 23.5mpg. On fill up this morning (it took 81.94 Litres), for 409.8 miles I got 22.74mpg (22.7355) so the DIS (what does that stand for?) isn't that far out. Oh, that's on cheap ASDA fuel. Now I've got to try and be good for the next tank full!!  MG

Ahah, that makes sense.
Last tankfull got me 23mpg but I was driving it like an idiot again. This tankfull, I'm cruising everywhere, using the Tiptronic buttons to shift up at the earliest moment and so far, I'm on 28mpg after 180 miles. MG

Seriously, why bother with MPG recorded on your DIS, you might as well stick your thumb in the air.
The only MPG figures that should be noted are those calculated manually, do that for 3 tankfuls of mixed driving, then post your results, you'll be surprised if you've come to rely on the DIS

Because the last two fill ups, the DIS (as you call it) has been within 4% of what I'm actually getting when I do a fill up.
First fill up showed 23.5mpg and I got 22.7mpg. Second fill up showed 23.8mpg and I got 23mpg. As it's showing 28mpg... I know that I'm getting close to 27mpg. MG
