Matt82 · 17 Nov 2009 at 15:24

i took the audi in the other day. we did have particularly bad traffic.

22mpg on the way in... 17mpg coming home. the traffic was even worse

22-23mpg - doesn't seem to budge much no matter how heavy my right foot is!

loki101 · 17 Nov 2009 at 15:33

18-22 (25 if im very lucky) 10 miles all in london. (official combined 35)

20mpg, cold start, 5 miles, first mile down a stop start lane with speed bumps.

Fail.

About 30 on average - 5 or so of miles of town either end of about 8 miles of Motorway

HummuH1 · 17 Nov 2009 at 15:38

13 mpg. Really.

paradigm · 17 Nov 2009 at 15:39

42MPG on average for the last two tanks. 3.9mi each way

If I take the LCR then its 25~ for the same trip.

LiE · 17 Nov 2009 at 15:41

22-27mpg when in traffic. Up to 35mpg if I'm cruising.

DevilsAdvocate · 17 Nov 2009 at 15:43

33mpg in the fabulous stop start traffic of the M6 J10-J6 :rolleyes:

About 26mpg. I have to go along tiny back lanes to get to work, but the bonus is that i'm rarely in stop start traffic.

I'm still amazed at this. I got 35mpg around town from a Stop-Start fitted 118d and 320d, yet you thrash it with an older 330d?!

Firestar_3x · 17 Nov 2009 at 15:45

Depends how good i want to be and what the traffics like, on a good day 32 on the way to work and 27 on the way back.

On a bad day 15 - 20 on the way to work and about the same on the way back.

27 mile trip each way, all on backroads.

24mpg, 525d, probably about 4 miles with lots of traffic lights

That sounds more like it from an around town M57

I get about 28mpg from the 530d so I presume yours is an auto?

There is noway a 330d gets that, can bet you my 1.9 Astra CDTi wouldn't get that on a 4 mile each way trip.

42mpg, 24 miles roundtrip 320D SE. North circular and A1. 3/4 filled the tank 3weeks ago and still going at just under 1/4. This includes 2 trips to Eltham to girlfriend @ 2x 40 miles roundtrip where i averaged 52mpg according to the computer, So about 440 miles on a bit over half tank, and i'm a bit of a lead foot.

Silly DP

Howard · 17 Nov 2009 at 15:50

Will you all please learn how to quote properly

Booner! · 17 Nov 2009 at 15:50

About 19mpg if I am late and 24mpg if I take the A34 early enough. Everyday....somewhere inbetween.

Pete19s · 17 Nov 2009 at 15:53

Not doing too bad at the moment, has dropped off slightly since its got colder. Sitting at around 32mpg on a 6 mile each way trip, much much better than the 25mpg I was getting in my previous car. Who said bigger engines use more fuel?
