Laurentiu Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Hello, I have a4b9 2tdi 190 manual and my average mpg is 45 with 31 mph average. on motorway with 70 mph I have about 50mpg. Is that normal becose for me is look a little to low, or maybe my car have some issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
56Doc Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Looks about right, steady speed on any road is always more efficient. look up the ‘Honest John real mpg’ website, it gives an average of owners mags that they’ve sent in so I think it’s probably one of the more accurate ones.

figo_rulz11 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I recently purchased a 2.0TFSI 190bhp Auto A4 and i did a 50 mile trip mixture of town and motorway and managed 47mpg at 60-62mph for comparison. Yet to really do some decent mileage as only owned it for a week but i thought it wasn't too bad for a 2.0 petrol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurentiu Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 i expected from diesel to have better mpg in compare with petrol,im a little disappointing about this engine mpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a 1.4TFSI Seat Leon and that managed 55mpg+ at 60mph on the motorways but sooooooo slow and smaller haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
56Doc Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Which petrol model are you comparing with? I had a V8 Allroad (300bhp) a few years back, 22mpg was excellent! On the other side, I’ve recently owned a 1.0 tsi dsg Seat Leon estate. Remarkable engine, 115bhp and it averaged 54 over a 3 week, 1000 mile holiday trip. so it’s all relative! my current 3.0tdi Allroad averages 39-40, my sons A6 avant 3.0 tdi dies about 42.

56Doc Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 There’s lots of things that affect fuel consumption, previous maintenance, whos fuel they used etc. sadly, not all fuels are the same. The supermarkets are ok if you do very high miles but the fuel tends to have far more impurities in it than the premium stuff like Shell, BP, etc. I do fairly low mileage so after taking lots of advice from various trusted sources, I try to only use Shell, so far (12k miles & 14 months), no sign of any dpf etc issues. (Sadly petrol Allroad are like hens teeth!j it might be worth getting the injectors cleaned and the car remapped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
