supercmaxer Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Is it diesel, I'm guessing it is by that figure. I noticed that on cruise the turbo spools up if on the incline and in my opinion uses more fuel, I just got 62 mph on a recent trip after fitting a k&n panel filter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pragmatix Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 In normal driving my avg is 53.5 mpg that's mainly A road and motorway at keeping up with traffic, that brim to brim not the computer that shows 54.1 so very close 2 ltr tdci mk4 on 17" at 36 psi car has done 1450000. Funnily enough it was better on the winter tyres less drag I suppose as the where 16" and narrower( of my old mk3) got 56.2 might have been driving a tad slower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I have the 57 plate Mondeo and like you I love to abuse the cruise! I do a 60 mile run (2x30) per working day, I hit the motorway and stick cruise on, then get to the country roads and stick cruise on again. I did a run last night and this morning (having reset the car) and I am averaging 64mpg on the combination of town, country and motorway roads :D My last full tank of fuel was about 2.5 - 3 weeks, and did a range of roads, but spent a lot of time in towns and as such, resulted in 55MPG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
