Wait I was making assumption? I think you find I was right in the end. I know cars but dont know Audi too well and off the top of my head was saying Allroad was a exactly that an Allroad. No assumptions there I actually thought you knew what you were talking about hence why it was put in question form. Look at my 3 posts all 3 are correct. Next time learn to use google better.

Depending on what you Google for, you get different result, I didn't know, the Allroad was an Audi and a search came up with A4 and A6. Full stop. I'm sure the guy posting the values will/would have responded in time.

The discussion ends here, it has nothing to do with the purpose of the thread.

Whats the diesel corolla like in general? Nice performance? Servicing costs decent?

There is an 04 automatic petrol corolla in the family and its poor MPG wise.

We've a 3.0l X5, new shape but early build so no efficient dynamics like the newest models. Easy driving (mam in nun mode ) gets 34-36mpg but goes down to about 22 pulling a box, that'd be mainly national roads, with the big tank we get about 600miles to the fill most of the time. Not bad considering the size of it As a comparison, our Freelander 2, 2.2dsl only manages about 400KM's to a fill, with about 12l/100 km indicated but it's mainly used for short journeys or towing farm equipment, animals etc. Just goes to show!

Myself I drive a '07 3 series 318d, getting about 45mpg, expected better to be honest but I like to stretch her legs every so often so can't complain!

Juwwi

Peugeot Partner van 1.8d no turbo doing mostly motorway driving does
42mpg.

When quoting "to a tank" figures you need to state the tank size!

The first week I got it before xmas...... 16-18mpg ;-)
Run to Galway with cruise control - 32-35mpg
Spirited driving around town - 24-28mpg

Land Rover Series 3 V8... 8-12mpg Urban...
20mpg+ on a run.. like when I drove from Derby to Kerry.

My other car.. Berlingo 1.6HDi Multispace.. 55-65mpg over a tank.. with AirCon too!

Best ever car I had... Fabia vRS.. Swindon to Derby, 50mph whole way on cruise control.. 75mpg!

T-Square

IS200, usually about 30mph, for fun usually about 25mpg, terrible economy.

I find the diesel corolla a pretty good alround car, its pretty good in all aspects to be honest. my only issue with them is i find the driving posistion comfy but abit cramped-but i'm 6'1. Performance is good, nice torque. I do the servicing myself so its pretty cheap.

1994 E36 M3. 28MPG combined. (driving legaly) It is however possible to get 6 MPG so a nice balance.

2006 Saab 9-3 1.9 Tid Vector Sport Combi, 150bhp, 6-speed manual.

Currently averaging, on 25km commute: 40mpg, on run to Killarney last week, 43.5mpg.

Other commuting, maybe 39mpg.

znv6i3h7kqf9ys

Best I had was a BMW 320d 6 speed. 50€ = 500 miles etc. Not bad for 150Bhp.

opus

I got ~31mpg on a return trip from Cork to Dublin in a '96 E36 328i doing ~75mph which I checked by brimming it before & after. Lot worse than that around town of course but I've never really worked it out.

Depends on how much diesel cost at the time though, given that there's been a 25c or more range in the last few years.

Yes but how can we work out the mpg if you won't tell me how many litres or we can do the extremely complicated maths for you if you tell how much diesel was selling for at the time.

franksm

Jaguar XK8 4.0 V8

Motorway: 24 - 26 mpg
Urban: 16 - 18 mpg
Average: 22 mpg

Probably could be better but I have an induction kit on the car so tend to play the engine like a trumpet

I am surprised you don't get more.. i used to have a 150bhp Vectra.. I had it remapped to 205bhp and regularly got 52mpg as an average over a tank(on the computer). Okay then I was in UK and did a lot of motorway work.

....me too, to an extent. But it's better than the Mazda it replaced (37mpg), and better than the other car........in my sig, so I can't complain !......I have, on a run to Dublin, got 50.2 mpg, but that's an exception - most of our driving is short spins, so that's what counts to us, really.

So that would mean you paided €1.09 per litre. What country do you live in?
Because diesel is now about 1.18 per litre in Ireland.

my lexus is250 is a 2.5 v6 im getting around 25mpg around town 30mpg on long distance and 35mpg on motorways

Watch Ryder

My Nissan Skyline 2.5 Turbo Straight 6 = 30mpg on highway driving mostly off-boost. Less so around town, and even less when blasting off
For those that don't know what a skyline is...

My Landrover Defender 2.5 Straight 4 TDI = 32 mpg on highway, less around town etc.

The difference is probably from the diesel left in the system & dude you got way to much time on your hands. 50MPG average is what came up on the computer every 2 weeks when I tanked up.

Apologies that was a typo. Should have been paid.
What country are from that you are now paying less than €1.09 for diesel?

Interestingly, diesel in my part of the UK is now averaging at £1.09 per litre (edit, except on M/Way service stations where it's about £1.14 per litre...captive audience so to speak ).

Today I got 48 MPG from my 2.0L TDI (170 bhp) A3 quattro. This was on a 25 mile stretch of dual carriageway at a steady 70-75mph.

CrowdedHouse

With gentle driving enforced by the recent weather -
comp. in my 330d is showing a steady 55.4 mpg - incredible.

TJJP

CL600 - 8-12mpg in town, best ever close to 20mpg
E39 525d - 36mpg in town, 38 on an economy 'drive'
E60 520d - 5.7L/100km I'm a convert!

Based on brim-to-brim rather than in car reading.

That is exactly the same figure as I get out of my 190D 2.0 - 5.73 l/100km - total average on 21k miles of everyday drive (1993, 325k km on the clock). But the Benz is 30 years behind with technology, aerodynamics, etc...

On a long motorway cruise my 3.5 v6 petrol gets up to 43mpg! And I can get over 1000kms to a tank. Most economical car I've owned since a 3 cylinder corsa!:eek:

On my 3.5 V6 petrol (which I suspect is possibly the same engine) I get around 19-21mpg !
Although, I'm usually doing short trips for the last while and not on motorways (and very little cruising!).

I'd imagine 6th gear @ 75mph'ish and resetting your OBC's mpg, to ensure it's wiped all other driving, will give 40'ish but it'd only be for that stretch of the motorway and pretty much any obstacle will crucify that.
