Best MPG I’ve had in the 280.
Surbiton to the Stena line port at Birkenhead plus one stop on the M6 Toll.  

That is very good for a 6 speed 280. I think the best I got was around 34. My new 7 speed 280 is better on the motorway, I get around 40 on a long run at 75.

Took me 6h27m at an average 33mph! 😂

Nah, it was 70/75 all the way (except on the M25 car park between 10 and 16) with the odd spirited boost, shocking those BMW/Audi drivers clinging to my boot lid. 

that slow driving is acceptable for foreign travel, but too boring for daily routes 

bests score: 43.4 mpg / 6.5 l100km

@MartiniB that’s a great number. I think if I were to drop to avg 65mph I’d probably get close to that sort of number.
I’m a going to have to fill up as the gauge is just under the last 1/8th of a tank before reserve and have covered 481 miles so should easily see 500 miles plus. BTW, standard E10 is £1.38 here vs. £1.45 at Tesco in New Malden. 

 

Technically it's cheating, but this is my loaner Octavia whilst I'm fixing me Superb.

 

Octavia 1.9TDI PD Mapped to 130 !

3.8L/100KM or 74.33MPG 

 

The best I've got.so far, in the same journey is 4.9L/100KM or 57.65MPG

I meant to add this a few weeks ago, returning from the Vendée we popped £50 in after leaving Dover. My better half drove back to Staffordshire albeit a lot of 50mph involved but I never achieved close to that through France at higher speeds and not even close since. 

I got stuck behind tourists...

Not the same engine but I find the mpg on the screen to be 4 mpg on the optimistic side when I fill the tank and measure myself!

The parameter can be adjusted using VCDS, within a +/- 15% range IIRC.

I have recently filled with 22.7 litres, 5 gallons approximately. Car stated 34.6 mpg from last fill and calculated it at 33.5 mpg so not nearly as bad as 4mpg difference. 

Mine's a 1.4 iV but the photos don't show my best. Only the best from the last refueling.

 

My current refuel is about 91mpg with just under half a tank left and 560ish miles done but I haven't photographed that:

@Dr_Kokkenballz Is this from starting with a fully charged battery and using that and just 3 miles range left of battery?

or can you say when the battery was charged and how often or how many kW of electricity has been getting put into the battery with charges? 

The single trip was a full charge of the battery and I had 3 miles left at the end. I used that later to pick up my son from nursery but it was over 2 hours after so didn't add onto the data.

 

I worked out that it costs less than 9p a mile based on the BG EV tariff price and the cost of petrol combined. Costs me less than £1 to fully charge the battery between 00:00 and 05:00 

 

Edit: I do a lot of electric only driving, but I also drive long distances to rifle ranges for competitions and the longer the journey you do in a PHEV the less battery you've got to increase your MPG but if you do 40 miles a day (or even 80 in the new superb iV) then you can expect that kind of combined range as shown in the single 39 mile trip. 

 

I should also add that I live in Wales and the 20mph speed limit is very energy efficient for EV driving.

That's my current. Bit better than I remembered.

 

607 miles ÷ 6.4 = 94.85.

 

Let's call that 95 kWh at 9p per kWh which is £8.54 worth of electric (I understand there's a little in wastage that I can't account for)

 

607 ÷ 92.9 = 6.53g of fuel which I would say is 24.7L. At £1.32 per litre that's £32.60. This looks spot on because my fuel guage says exactly half a tank.

 

So £41.14 ÷ 607 miles is 6.8p per mile. 

 

I know if I drive solely on electric power it works out around about 3p per mile or better.

Being a long distance taxi I actually try and increase my MPG. I've had 80mpg since refuel and 71mpg long term average.

That's really good for a 2.0 diesel 👌

I forgot this one...lol

I’m sure mines only ever seen 50mpg once for my 190 tdi, only long journey I do though is when my cars rammed and half the journey is single A roads followed by dual carriageway (national speed limit), still get just over 700miles a tank though which is good enough for me

Yeah, not the best roads for fuel economy, have to have a good run keeping it around the 2000 revs mark. The least stops the better....lol

Mine usually averages around 65 to 68 which is mostly long runs.

I often get over 50 mpg and sometimes over 60 mpg up to a maximum of about 65 mpg.  I usually get 60 mpg passing through the Netherlands, where it's flat and the speed limit is 100 kph.  Earlier this year returning from Lithuania, I managed to go from Poland to Dunkirk with one tankful, which is about 700 miles with the back seats folded down and the car very full.  For the whole trip, it returned 55.3 mpg.

My long term average that I keep on my spreadsheet (yes I am sad!) Is almost exactly 50mpg over the 39k miles I have done since January last year.

I think the best I have seen is 78mpg on a single journey but 60-65 is more normal on my standard commute (mostly motorway sitting at 65mph).

Best overall for a tank is 60.3mpg (measured brim to brim) but around 55 is more normal.

The overall average is dragged down by my trips to Germany (normally 4-5 per year) when I generally try and keep moving😉

Cruising at 105mph with a roofbox and full car generally results in it ending up around the early 30s for the journey.

My car is a 200 TDI 4x4 estate.

Just done 660 miles on a full tank with about 40 miles left to empty on a trip to South west Wales. Superb 1.5

We made a short trip this weekend, around 300km of which 1/3 highway and the rest mountain roads.

Best was the return, woman drove all the way and made 13km/l, or 36.7 British MPG.

On the way going, I was at 11.6km/l or 32.8 MPG, but I made it like 30min less ... 😄

 

My best ever was 38.2 MPG, on a relaxed leg of one of my long trips ... but it lasted litte, it was too quiet 😋
