My last two refuels have shown personal bests for the 1.4.
Have just returned from a trip to Glasgow - 330 miles in total and about 70% A roads (A69, A72 on the way back, the scenic route!) between 50 and 60, with the cruise set at a constant 70 when on the motorway. Two adults and luggage. Driving as economically as possible.
DIS is currently showing 50.4 MPG! Have never seen anything like it. Mightily impressed. Will wait to calculate the tank average but it should be the same or slightly higher. My town average is normally around 40 so that's a great improvement for the petrol in my book.
A rough calculation makes me think I'd have to get about 53 on the same trip in a TDI to overcome the extra cost of diesel (I.e make it a cheaper trip)...no doubt that'd be no trouble for you lot!
Cheers!
