      Mine a tourer averages anything between 26-32 round town and 38-47 on a run. I don’t really care anout mpg i just put the diesel in and go

      Try driving an omega 2.2 petrol like i used to that was 15-18 round town

          In the name of this thread i just tried an experiment. I reset my average mpg and drove very carefully through town but wasn’t any stop start traffic. I didn’t take the revs over 1500 if i could help it and managed 37.2 over 6 miles but was boring to drive

              Are you trusting the display or are you measuring the fuel you put in and the miles traveled?

                So I fill the tank up and drive steady I use it to and from work mainly 5th 6th gear no more than 2000rpm and only get mid late 30’s surely it should do more high 40’s
                Does anyone know what could be wrong
                I have no warning lights
                It’s fully serviced and run on premium derv
