Stage 2 Edition 30 (316bhp), On a 400 mile trip from Norfolk to Cornwall at a fast cruise was 29.2mpg.

To my Golf club and back (24 mile round trip) all A/B Roads, was 25-26mpg.

Sold it and bought a BMW 330D which gives me 40mpg and 46mpg should get 1-2mphg more when its been remapped to 325-330bhp  :happy2:

I often get mod to high 30's on a 100 mile commute in the rush hour driving at the various national speed limits. I got 40 on one of those journeys last week in the warm weather

My driving never really takes into account long journeys. I normally get around 26/27 MPG. Even when I do venture further I rarely go above 30, thats at driving 70 and never really pushing it

No, I bought the Touring as I am a keen Golfer and needed the extra space, love the way it eats up the miles and does not drink a drop of oil between services. Looking forward to remap in next few weeks  :happy2:

in the colder weather I was getting around 32mpg on a 150 mile stretch of a12 and m1 doing around 90. I have managed 37mpg doing constant 70 on the same stretch( outside temp was around 4degrees)

Havnt tried it with the weather being much warmer but I know it'll be much better
