    Very interesting. There's clearly something not quite right here. I've booked the vehicle in for a full service.

    Fingers crossed this will help.

          I certainly don't do enough mileage for a diesel. I have 2 cars I rarely use.

          But I knew that going in. Petrols are just less abundant, more tax etx generally.
          I'm happy to do regens when needed, and expect more frequent oil changes. But these cost me just the price of a filter, so it's not a concern for me.

          I was just surprised I need to try and get mpg to 40 ish. I'm used to diesels just achieving that.
          I have noticed they need to be kept low rpm for mpg. But it just feels so wrong, such slow acceleration at that rpm. I'm not racing around, just feels like I'm the Sunday driver holding everyone up [emoji23]

            Yes spot on, fully warmed up on bridge slip road. The 163 has better fuel consumption than the 170, quite annoying really.

              Well......I get about 4 months to a tank

              And I haven't bought diesel for nearly a year now.

                  I put 25 quid in for each of my 3 days in.

                  My drive is mostly motorway and over those 3 days in I cover 220 miles.

                  I always leave my reserve fuel (anything below the fuel light) and still have a a little remaining for the odd short drive.

                    Morning All,

                    I'm back with another Fuel related query. The car now runs a lot smoother, with me averaging £50 every two weeks on Diesel, which is great.

                    However, over the last couple of weeks i've noticed that my fuel consumptions has increased a fair bit. As a rough example, i'll leave the office with 600 miles on the clock, get home and it'll say 580 for argument's sake (i'm 22 miles each way from the office to home, but let's keep this simple.)
                    I'll wake up the next morning, turn the engine on and immediately i've got 560 miles on the clock, and within a few hundred yards i've got 540 miles on the clock, all the while the diesel gauge is going down too.
                    Now this doesn't go back up the warmer the engine gets, I thought maybe this was due to the winter cold but it's getting worse.

                    I can't see any spills on the floor as I leave, and no strong diesel smell coming from the engine.

                    Any thoughts on what this might be?

                    Cheers all.

                      You've answered your own question.
                      The cold weather will affect your MPG.....I'm not saying by the amount you've stated, but it does affect it.

                        Ah nightmare! This could be a million dollar question, but anything I can do to prevent this in any way?

                          Move somewhere warmer!

                                I barely put my foot down, I drive like an old lady to ensure that £50 lasts two weeks!
                                Is it normal to "Lose Miles" that many miles on the clock once the engine is started?
                                As RBH said the cold will affect it, but I think losing 20-30 miles everytime the engine
                                starts is a bit crazy. This has only been happening the last few weeks / Month tops.

                                Is there any kind of maintenance that I should be doing to help with the situation? Change any filters, take it for a service etc?
