My 175 has done 13,000 miles.

It doesn't get driven hard, and does a mixture of A road/motorway commute of about 30 miles/day.

So why can't I get a long term MPG of more than 36? I see even EVO magazine can get 40+ from their long termer!

What are other people getting? Any ideas if I have a problem with the car?

Thanks,

S.

36 is poor.

I got 32 thrashing it round the Dales on saturday. My trip computer avg mpg after 6000+ miles still says 44.1mpg.

Best I've ever got from it is 64mpg.
