Got my new car last week. Wanted to get the efficiency model due to the rising fuel costs. Went to Sheffield today which was a 140 mile round trip and reset the mpg computer as I left the drive. Achieved 68.9mpg which I am well pleased with. I stuck to the speed limits pretty much (with 10 points I have to anyway) and did about three quarters of the journey on the motorway. It regularly hit 74mpg but with some hills to climb that brought it back down.

Will see how it performs this week with my normal work run.

Must admit its a lot quicker than I was expecting. Its got half a tank and is showing 486 miles left. Happy days if true!
 
Brand new last week. I had a C220 CDI Merc before this and that got about 45mpg. Just got to get used to gears after having an automatic.
 
Yeah but my finance is a fixed cost, road tax is £35 and fuel costs will be kept low so it suits me.
