Can anyone let me know what MPG I should be getting,

93, 2.5 tdi. I dont rant it on the road dont get much above 2000rpm.
drive light trafffic 4miles to work and 4 miles home again, I am not looking at what it should be when playing coz that does not count.

I know its thursty but what would you lot think, expect from yours.
should i do anything to improve it.

No been driving at about 70 on the m'way

I think it needs a service too, last one was 7k ago

Gonna clean the intercooler and might replace the pipes with silicone ones as it's still on the originals
 
I'm stuck at 23 mpg. intercooler cleaned 6000 miles ago
all oils and filters 2000 miles ago.
2" lift
standard size wheels (235/70/16)
AT2's at 38 psi
Decat'd and EGR removed.
177K miles
300 tdi - auto
would love to get close to 30mpg, but given up trying. I removed the roof rack for a 1000 miles again gained 0.8mpg improvement.

Hi Vince, with our TDi 200 we would get on average 36mpg, but we weren't doing just 4 miles there and 4 miles back!!! Your mpg will be lower as the poor thing has hardly got warmed up.

Wrong vehicle for that work tbh - get yersen a bike!
 
Nice One Thanks lads.

So Service, then i will start driving the long way round now.

I want out on the plains with friends and on the way managed to find a gear i did not now i had when i got it up to 50 mph.:eek:
