Vrs CR Maxi dot 53 mpg over 6K miles.

Actual 50.5.

On Vpower it is 51mpg on maxi dot and 47.5 in reality over 3k miles.

My 1.9 pd has consistently averaged 46mpg overall (on the MFD2 display) for the last 2 years. 2 months ago after using a roof box, I decided to leave the roof bars on. Since then it has not dropped below 50mpg ! Needless to say the roof bars are staying on

If you look at these results it does show how much the type of driving conditions and styles really impacts on your MPG even the same vehicle and engine config differ alot.

Hi All

2010 170 CR VRS - normally 46 - 48mpg (brim to brim) but on a recent run down to Campbeltown and back got 51.6mpg average.

Did notice when dealer did the wheel alignment a while ago, tank miles dropped from approx 480 to 400. When got 4 wheel alignment done by specialist (CLCM in Edinburgh) now normally get 480 - 500 miles per tank. Its worth making sure your alignment is correct.

Cheers

Dave

2.0PD 140 pre-fl saloon. Mpg increase by 20% at last dealer service.(from 53 on a run to 64). Maybe the engine management was adjusted?

Also replaced Dunlop so sports with Michelin energy savers and made sure tyre pressures were correct.

Average UK MPG is 43.3. 18,083 miles tracked.

Usually get about 71mpg highway.

With economy like this, I can afford to have "fun" sometimes.

I'd say there's about 100k's worth of "fun" on every tank.

2011 1.6tdi cr se with 25,000 on it , getting a combined average of 46-50 mpg , some school runs hardly warming up other trips of 50-100 miles , mostly flat and motorway / main road

2012 170CR - 44mpg average accordingly to Maxidot - but then I've only done 600 miles so far so plenty more running in required. Oopps, don't want to start another running in arguement

1.9TDI (estate) 53mpg average. Record is 666 to a tank!

2.0 PD 140 Average 51mpg thats real pump calculated figures when trip computer says 56 mpg over past 2,500 miles. As discussed on here the readout is 10% over unless you have re-callibrated it.

The most common number on my PD140 scout is 45 UKMPG. That is calculated from fillups and total km's, so far my dash readout is ~6% optimistic.

2010 Scout 2.0CR manual. From fuel records since new. Mixed driving, town and country.

litres 2434 (541 gallons)

41367 kms (25854 miles)

16.99 KM/L (47.80 MPG)

ave range on tank 1020km (620 miles)

I don't drive fast or stupid and I'm stuffed if I know how you guys can average over 50mpg+ constantly in the 2.0 motors especially the VRS's. It will do about 57mpg on the motorway at a constant 62mph but with normal urban driving with traffic lights and lower speeds included, the average can't stay near that for me.

57mpg is 20km a litre!! I mean I get 600 miles out of the 60L tank with urban driving but that's it.

Out of the 57 tanks of diesel the car has had it's only averaged over 50mpg 5 times, the highest being 51.1mpg.

My first full tank in the vRS DSG at two weeks old was 580 miles. Very impressed.

That is impressive!!! Was that urban or motorway driving?

My first real trip in the Blackline in it's first week on the motorway I achieved 49mpg according to Maxidot. Currently averaging about 44mpg commuting to work, hoping that will get better as the engine loosens up! My old Vectra took on a new lease of life when it reached about 30k miles when the mpg increaesed about 10-15% - this also coincided when I started getting it serviced at a local garage at not at the vauxhall dealer - what does that tell you??

Snala, I'd like to do an odometer accuracy check on a scout vs a VRS or standard octy. I wouldn't be surprised if they're using the same coding so our cars read a little less on our bigger tyres. There's nothing else that should make a ~10% mpg difference. The 4wd drag is minor, the ride height is too.

I can get 50 UKMPG on a 2 hour trip, but I'm driving at ~90km/h and averaging around 80km/h to do it. That is being stuck in holiday traffic and being relaxed enough to go with it.

Yes that's exactly what I get too, you have to drive like a nana to stay over 50mpg and that's pretty much only obtainable on longer trips with open road driving not going much over 100kph.

Could be something in the tyres. Most on here so far haven't been Scouts so.... Mine says 57kph on the maxi dot and those digital speed signs say 54kph so only 3kph diff there. It's probably not 4wd really cause these aren't driving all 4 wheels like Subarus do until they start slipping. The AWD system on the Scout isn't as good as my old Subaru's. I've had 3 turbo versions of them (2 WRX and 1 legacy GT) and got 11/12km/L out of all of them so you can see I don't drive like a madman a lot right there.

Unless our diesel is crap over here or something and that is effecting economy? I did 120 kms this weekend, South Auckland to Woodhill and back for MTBing, all motorway and open road apart from 10km of it being urban getting to and from motorway. That was 4.9L /100km on maxidot so about 57mpg. Doing that for the rest of the 880kms left in the tank is never going to happen in real life so you'd have to drive on the motorway 60-70% of the time at least to consistently get 50mpg+ in my opinion??

Get confusing cause I can get down to Ruapehu at 4 in the morning, so 328 kms in about 3 hours 15 and 2/3rds of it is all twisty undulating two way open road stuff having to pass trucks etc going from sea level to 1600m and it's still giving 5.5L/100k's (50mpg) as well so stuffed if I know what all you guys in the UK are doing to get constant 50+s with normal slow speed commuting included etc.

Octavia SE+ hatch back, 2l common rail TDI, 6000 miles from new (July 2012), averaged 55 MPG (fill up to fill up)

1.6 CR Elegance - 12,000 on the clock now, with an overall 59.7mpg calculated brim-to-brim.

Best - 72.4 mpg pottering around the Loire valley whilst on holiday

Worst - 38.0 mpg (!) but that was fully loaded & with three bikes on the roof an a trash up & down the M1/M6/M74/A9 to the Cairngorms

The overall 59.7 includes both these extremes

I did another 400km trip yesterday at 100km/h for most of it, didn't need to fillup but the fuel computer was showing 5.5 litres/100km, the scangauge (corrected for error) was showing 6 litres/100km.

This is typical for me.

Fuelly details should show below.

Dropped down a few mpg after a sprightly run back from chatsworth house at the weekend.

Estate manual (6-speed) 2.0 TDI 140 CR averages between 55 and 60 MPG but I do drive like a timid old woman most of the time

2005 2ltr Diesel 140bhp

Actual calculated average consumption is 45 mpg. tank to tank calculation, over some considerable miles

Computer reports 58-60mpg...obviously programmed to be optimistic

Had the car since new, and always been the same.

2011, 2.0ltr cr vrs estate with Revo stage 1 got 57mpg on a run down to milton keynes the other month, dailey average though is around 46mpg, Towing a 24ft caravan i get 30mpg.Very happy with that.

On my VRS 170CR, between 46-47mpg. See Fuelly sig.

2.0 PD

Best - 56mpg over the full tank. Drive to Germany

Worst - 37mpg over the full tank. Although it was with a dodgy remap, broken DPF and this was all urban driving
