I am also going to Focus shame my new V6 is a week 15 build :'( we could have had a mini meet!

Think you may beat me on MPG but I would win on sound and speed

OUCH! @ 30mpg! -suppose that's what you'll be getting from the V6 on a good day tho...

Is that MFD readings or a proper brim to brim calculation?

Even if its MFD and yours over reads by 3mpg like mine, that aint bad for a big'ol motor :yes:

Thats on a run, average on the cars computer is 25.4mpg!!!! Looks like the V6 could be cheaper to run plus more fun

They obviously vary from the factory as mine is reading an average of 52ish on the MFD but real consumption is closer to 47mpg.

I'd echo that. My Octy II shows around 56-57mpg combined at the end of most tanks, but a detailed record of the last 8 tank fulls shows this to be 48-49mpg in reality.

A big difference between computer and real world and (probably) my only real complaint about my Octavia!

However, compared to other (diesel) cars, I think I'm doing OK with the average consumption.
