Not a lot of traffic and nearly 100% motorway and dual carriageway driving. Nothing excessive on the m'ways just cruising at a comfortable speed. Not enough to attract the attention of the M'way plod. I even passed an unmarked police volvo!! Only noticed the extra aerial and hidden lights in the grill as I went by. He never even looked across at me.

thats good,i have just done a 250mile round trip,all on cross country roads using as always super unleaded managed to get 39.4 mpg,well pleased with that as rarely get 25mpg daily driving.

Good MPG ive just driven 230 miles to Derby then 230 back home and managed 46.4 & 46.2 mpg in my 200BHP petrol which I was pleasantly surprised about

Off out towards Aberystwyth over the hill roads tomorrow so expect the mpg to plummet!

I don't check around town, but monthly average will be around 35 mpg. I do mainly long journeys.

I'll try to reset the trip tomorrow and see what I get in D mode on the twisty roads!

Not too bad on my run down from Tadcaster to Malvern. All in "n" mode and helped by the long stretch on 50mph in the M42 round Brum. No real holdups on the roads.

I'd get 55-60mpg in the diesel, probably nearer 60 on a run like that ...

I’m averaging around 26mpg in mine over the last 2k ish, Mostly short journey in around city centre. Because I’m away with work for half the year, when I do get to drive it, it’s mostly in D 😂

Over the last 10k miles I have got 32mpg at an average speed of 29mph. I live in a city but regularly travel on A roads and motorways.

But then you drive a boring diesel

I'm quite surprised by some of the figures quoted here....lower than I expected for a lightish four pot car. Some cars with rather more power on other forums I frequent get that sort of mpg (twenites and early thirties) or better. Mid 40s on a trip seems ok though.

Official figures are;

I know - the only way I can cheer myself up is by looking at the mpg figures!

Lightweight engine, heavyweight right foot!! 😂

I'm averaging about 27 over 4 years, mostly non-motorways which is not great but tbh I really don't care on the basis I very rarely see any other Veloce's and just enjoy driving the car.
