Some calculations

you must drive VERY conservatively. i was lucky to get 6.1 or below on my 2.0tdi comfortline when i had it. mostly up around 7 or 7.5. and you cant count the cruising on a highway, i can make my car sit at 3 point something on a straight flat stretch, it has to be a mix of city/highway to have relevance.

Yeah, most of my driving is long distance.
But city driving I have learnt to conserve fuel by getting off the
accelerator as soon as I see a red light and try and pick the change to green
while still in secound. Still get great economy in city, around 5.1

You are correct in your analogy. I buy Benson & Hedges as a choice, not because my doctor said so.

I'll drink to that also!!!!!!!!! Cheers

ABRZ from vortex australia has entered the building LOL

I was banned from the VW Vortex! (I think because I did not meet the membership criteria)

I found this forum because I did some Googling as my warranty is due to expire shortly.

I think that this forum is more useful and informative, as the contributors seem to actually use the forum for its intended purpose.

I do however still visit VW Vortex if I need advice on which socks to wear or which mobile telephone to buy.
