I am considering replacing my faithfull Mk.1 1,9TDI 130 with a PD Scout, just wondered what mpg figures Scout owners were achieving in the real world, I cover 14K per year of which about 10K is my commute on welsh A roads. Thanks.

I've been getting 46mph(ish), (in my case MaxiDot and Fuelly actually agree.) most of my driving is on the M25, with some town driving thrown in.

I average about 44mpg in my 2.0 PD 4x4. Most of my commute is on dual carriageways.

Mainly short daily commuting (wifes kid carrier), 10 mile round trips, approx. 40-50mph.

I got 61mpg on a very steady drive into work one day but I tend to get around 45-48 most days.

Is that according to the trip computer? If so they are generally in cloud cuckoo land in terms of accuracy.

Optimistic ?

See my fuelly link in my signature

Its best to get actual figures rather than rely on the computer as unless it has been calibrated properly they tend to be a tad optimistic as i know mine car says 52mpg but actual brim to brim figures is 42mpg for 40-50mph 10mile journey.

In my non-Scout 2.0 litre diesel 4x4 estate I get between 40 and 42 mpg overall, measured properly (from fill-to-fill).

The on-board computer gives a far more optimistic figure.  I have learned to ignore it.

Yep, the car is trying to make you feel better

I cover around 15k a year in mine with good mix of roads, whenever I calculate tank to tank fill get 42-44mpg. Computer regularly reads high 40s to low 50s so also ignore this bit of fiction.
