Downforce yo!

That's good mileage, however.

Well I for one think that 50MPG+ figures are always optimistic

I got close to the 50mpg a week or so ago.

Had to to a run from Bristol to Preston and back and averaged 47.9mpg. Close but no cigar

The Evoque is terrible in comparison only getting 35mpg around town and 45-48 on a run.
59 MPG , was that oil or screenwash

I wish. I'm getting 36 just now but getting places quickly. Manual diesel. Is that a record low. Can get 45 when wearing my slipers.

Im getting around 40MPG combined cycle (35 mpg around town and 40-45 on the dual carriage ways!) If I could pull 50mpg in my automatic I would have to hunt out what is wrong with my car! that's with remap being run in econ mode the whole time!

Mine record is 4.9 liter/100km (58MPG). Exactly 823 kilometers at 40,675 liter.

Usually in the mixed (mostly urban) area around 7-7.5 liter (typically 'only' city area with pretty high traffic can come even to 10 liters/100km, but before modifications (CDT Xpower) was around 7-8 liters) but got pretty heavy leg, chiptuned engine and MBC valve

I typically get 47-49 when driving to work mostly via the dual carriage way. If mixture types of driving then about 45 ish. Still not bad, however.
