Adam786 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Hi Guys I have an Audi A6 TDI 2.0 Lemans 170 Avant- Love the car it drives and looks stunning BUT I am not getting the MPG I believe I should. I put in weekly £50 @ £1.21 per litre and I do mostly motorway mileage commute of 350 miles per week which I just about manage with a cruise control set at 70 mpg the trip computer is showing 35-40 mpg. Please share your MPG figures off similar or even bigger engines are you getting more or less then me?? I ran a BMW 123D which was more powerful and bigger engine but gave better MPG, PLEASE HELP............... Just to add I put £80 brimmed the tank and did a 450 mile journey all motorway and I managed to get 460 miles before the tank was dry.

Artiglio Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 My C5 1.9tdi averages 43 and on a 70 mph run would expect around 48 mpg. I do find that premium bp or shell diesel gives better mpg sufficient to off set the additional cost , also i don’t use the cruise control, the system on my car is too keen to maintain the set point and as a result breaks and accelerates more than i do if i’m in charge, my speed will vary more about the set point but it gains 3-4 mpg.plus mines a manual.

Adam786 Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 Something is seriously wrong because no matter how much I drive super carefully the Trip does not go beyond 45mpg. I am wondering If DPF removal and remap will solve the problem???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam786 Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 Paul what sort of MPG are you getting from you A6? Better or worse then mine/? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WPAWS Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Not to sure on my mpg but recently done a 368 mile trip on £60 in the tank from almost empty @ £1.32 a litre Had 62 miles left in the tank when i got back that was mostly duel carriage way and motorway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crozzy Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Personally, I would (and am) happy with that return. Same car as yours. 23 urban, 35-40 motorway . Intell you what makes a massive difference, every now and again bang £25 worth of Ultimate in it, I use Esso. Good response and better mpg. Plenty of additives in it, helps the valves.
