I pick up a brand new Mk7 Vision Blue Titanium tomorrow afternoon! I am looking forward to telling you what my average MPG is! My mum has the Edge Econetic and going down here without acceleration, can get 99.9!

41mpg from the Auto is really good. On my last tank with a mix of short journey (less than 2 miles) commuting and a journey back from the coast mine returned 35.1 with the OBC indicating 36.7. I thought that using the cruise control may help consumption but I fear not as it readily changes down to 3rd at around 70mph and holds it up to over 5,000 rpm! Using the resume button from 30mph to a cruise speed set at 60mph results in almost maximum revs in 2nd and 3rd gears!

Cruise Control has helped me save fuel on the motorway just for the simply fact i can set it at say 75-80 and it will stay dead on that speed and it's a good chance to see how up and down everyone elses speeds are. The guy that's been following you all of a sudden getting past then slowing down then going behind you must be using more fuel

I've got a ZS140, everyday driving I can get approx 37-39MPG..

When I've gone for a long drive, I can easily get 42MPG.

Before I had the Mountune installed, I got 48MPG on a long journey... once.. ;) :lol:

Is yours manual or auto? On the auto the box has a tendency to downshift as soon as speed drops below the set speed and holds third gear until it gets back to the set speed, even at 70mph!

I am going to try switching to manual mode before engaing cruise to see if it holds top gear.

Eeek... :? Scary now - wife has been milking the poor thing :hand: ! She proudly announced 51.8 mpg with her town driving! :o

I was envisaging long tailbacks for miles behind her :doh: :lol: - but she assures me that this is not the case!

It's a bit different to the Subaru :snooty: , and even further from the recently departed Discovery V8 LOL :mrgreen:
