Td5 fuel economy.

I know an Auto is obviously less economical than a manual. But is it a MASSIVE noticeable difference? If it's only a couple of Mpg I can live with it.

Thanks

Three or four mpg, depending on what you are doing with the car.

30mpg manual
27.4mpg auto

Combined cycle figures.

Real life i get about 22 mpg from my auto

29 from our manual......

It seems to vary wildly! I have a friend with a Td5 auto who regularly gets 35mpg. My manual used to get 30-32mpg before I started modding it. These days with 265s, roofrack and rooftent permanently mounted, I rarely see better than 26 unless on a long motorway run when I can creep up to about 28mpg if I take it steady.

I've heard of autos getting 22-35 and manuals getting the same range, all very confusing. I guess its down to driving style, the road type (city v motorway), and the routes covered (flat and straight v hilly and twisty).

IMHO If you get mid 20s you'll be doing about the realistic average.

Cleaning the MAP and MAF sensors moved mine from 24ish to 30 ish well worth doing

My dads Disco 2 gets around 30-33mpg and thats with carrying alot of his tools around too. He used get about 25-28 before I put a bigger intercooler, removed the EGR and fitted a de-cat pipe.

all down to driving style I get 25-to 35 when I am driving it when my better half drives has only got 2 positions on throttle all the way down or off 20 to 25 td5 auto

What worries me is I borrowed my dads modded TDV6 auto last weekend, he averages 24.5 but my best was 18.2 so I'm guessing I'd only get the bottom end of those figures.

i get 25 to 30 out of mine when its running old man gets 22 to 25 out of his d3 tdv6
