Managed 39.7 on a approximately a 160 mile trip, which was mostly motorway and a couple of average speed cameras thrown in. The actual trip computer went up to 503 miles for the tank range Although I did manage about 450 from a tank coming back from the other side of glasgow last year. But I suppose thats down hill

Hello,

Just got my ED30 less than a week ago, my MPG is shocking, doing 70-80mph all the way home the best i got was 29.9. around the doors at normal driving (slow) best im getting it 22mpg. The first £20 i put in the car got me just 80miles. Sold my 06 GT TDI 2weeks ago, missing the mpg i used to get. Was no where near as much fun as the ed30 though.

My car has no mods (yet) any ideas why it is so bad anyone? It has a service booked in for Wednesday this week, hoping this might help.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Andy,

Like you, I have recently come from a GT TDI and still coming to terms with the mpg, lol! I can assure you it gets easier though... 

My mpg in the ed is usually in the low 20's, I don't do a lot of motorway driving, I find it actually goes down on the motorway if you're doing 80mph or so, only goes up if you're doing 60 ish.

What fuel are you using?

[Burty86]

Thanks,

I'm using V-power, it has been a little bit better today, 27mpg. Though when took off from a scooby went down again, but that's worth it.

Its getting the 30,000 mile service tomorrow (the bigger one) so might pick up a little from there. Would a stage 1 REVO help?

Cheers andy

Wifey has managed 40+ on occasions with hers.

I can usually manage upper teens when I can prise the keys off her.
