Anecdotal, tbh. What are you comparing it to?
There are 50 million reasons why car

Comparison wise, the VW Passat with the 1.9 (only 5% smaller engine...) TDI gives 50 MPG in 100 BHP guide, and 48 in the 130 BHP model... very similar to the slightly more powerful and slightly heavier Rover 75 / ZT.
