I made last week 1050km roundtrip mainly highway driving. I was very surpriced at gas station while I made calculation. 8,0 litres/100km (equals to 35mpg?)! OK, there was very little urban driving but I'm still amazed on that figure.
Mine has autobox (50kkm on clock) and I use always manual to engage 6th gear in under 100km/h. BTW, next tank was 8,5l/100km with some 1/5 of motorway driving. Not too bad either?

Have had 29 on a long run at about 80
Usually sits at about 23 - 25

Interesting (?) thought - is Cruise Control more economical?

Only had mine a week, but on the country lanes to work I can get 29-30mpg if there is no traffic and just over 30mpg on the motorway. Around town it is 25-26mpg. our's is an auto.

Not bad for a week old - assuming new and engine therefore not loosened up

As soon as you hit 80 I find the economy tumbles. Interestingly having a chat with one of the sales guys at Harwoods, he has found the TD8 FFRR does 25mpg however you drive itDS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone
DS3 TDV6 HSE- Silver with Alpaca (new one) Gone
D4 HSE Lux - Montalcino Red Gone
Porsche Cayenne V8 Diesel S
With my TDV8 I was getting 24mpg but once I got onto the motorway and cruised at 80 the mpg started to go up, it was reading 27.9 when I finished the journey
After dropping the RRS off at the garage they gave me a FL2 TD4 manual, when I got it it was reading 22,4mpg and by the time I got home with it 28.1
