I've never cracked 46mpg in my 1.5SEL DSG Karoq (2021). Long term average is 39.1. It's likely because the car is nearly always carrying 4 passengers and associated baby detritus. I have no idea how OP got 62 out of theirs even on a long run!

Are you constantly using aircon, as that will knock 4-5mpg off.

Not unless the refrigerant mass is low.

 

Its been between 30° and 40°c here nearly every day for the last couple of months and I have the aircon on full all the time although once its cooled to a certain degree the duty cycle of the pump is reduced.

 

I believe mine is a little low on refrigerant because I recharged it using the manifold gauge readings and not by weight as the scales I have time out while filling, I do notice a slight drop in MPG on reference runs, down to 55mpg from 57mpg on a 4 mile there and 4 mile back journey, straight 80km/h Route Nationale with one set of traffic lights being the only time to slow down 50% of the time.
