| Briskodian | Re: MPG - what you getting Just been down to Oxford and back up to Preston for an interview. This tank is so far averaging 61.0 mpg according to the maxi-dot. I've still got quarter tank left. |

| Briskodian | Re: MPG - what you getting I get around 42 mpg at a steady 80, but when I drive into a town my MPG gets better! Usually by at least a couple of MPG. All this clever stop start malarkey seems to work wonders. |

| Re: MPG - what you getting Fabia 1.6 Tiptronic- 1300 Miles on the Clock "Spirited Driving" (Gearbox in S) 25-28MPG "Normal Urban Short trips" (Gearbox in D) 30-32MPG "Normal Long journeys" (Gearbox in D) 34-38MPG If I concentrate very hard, keep the gearbox in tiptronic mode and keep below 2,000RPM I can get about 38-39, I havent managed to touch 40MPG yet, but maybe when the enigne loosens up a little bit

| Briskodian | Re: MPG - what you getting Been driving my Fabia 1.9D 3 for a month now, Looking at my total average since taking the car im on 47.8mpg I would of thought this figure will go up as the engine breaks in (mostly motorway drive) |

All my prejudices on Beemer owners strengthened  Keeping speed limits also work wonders for your MPG  | |

. although if you reckon that the car is good for 148mph, it’s a pretty good figure. It is going in for a reprogramming of its ECU in a couple of weeks time though, so hopefully this will help my economy a tad. | |

| Re: MPG - what you getting Just an update. I went for a drive up the Tyne Valley and North into Northumberland and on return the Computer said I averaged 61.2. My average since new is 51.5. I did mostly 50-60mph today, so that would help.  |

| Re: MPG - what you getting I have a loan car from the garage at the moment, fabia 3 1.9 105 TDi. 60 mile trip to work yesterday morning (not hanging about as it was about 6.10am I left home) and it managed 51.3mpg (computer read out) as an average. I think I had used about £10 of fuel for 120 mile round trip once I got home yesterday. |
