I think you mean you collected your brand new DeLorean 🤣

It might be something to do with time travel 😉

But seriously there is something very wrong if you're using that much adblue. My Focus Mk4 2.0 diesel has used only 8 litre in 6000 miles which is about average.

I get about 4000 - 5000 miles to 10lts, so doesn't sound right, unless it down to the type of driving.

Hi Stephen, what is the average MPG that you get ?

My car mostly only does journeys of about 10 miles at a time these days (not good for a diesel, but what can I do?). My average MPG at the moment is 48.2

I do mainly motorway driving 60 miles a day between 70/75mph and only getting 48mpg 

My car is now booked in for the adblue  usage issue

Hi, your car does seem to have a problem.

When I do get out and do some motorway driving and often in 'Sport' mode these days, my car manages 57MPG without me trying, and as I said it does 48.2MPG just driving round the doors.

I generally get about 50-55mpg on motorway runs and 43mpg around town.

Only done a few short journeys this week and sitting at 37mpg.🙁

My old mk2.5 Focus 1.6TDCi never goes below 55mpg, I get 65-70mpg on motorway runs. 🙂
