Paul, you've started a thread that talks about mpg, diesel and cars with less than 4 cylinders. You're getting boring, and old. Sad times

FamilyDub said: Nice choice, however I looked at E46 M3's a while back and 25-30mpg combined sounds a bit optimistic... Really? I've recently spoken to a previous owner of an M3 and he said 30mpg on a run can be achieved. To be honest I'm not too fussed about the mpg. Just fed up driving something so mundane... In saying that though, it's still a great car and it's never missed a beat. I need to own a PY M3 to get it out my system. Then maybe a 530D or E92 330D or something more sensible. But until then....

steve2 said: My A6 1.9 (130) is getting around 40 mph on a mixture of 70% town driving and 30% motorways and I am trying my hardest to get it to that figure, going over to Belgium on Friday and will take it easy(4 up) and see what it can achieve, a friend is also coming along in his 2012 Skoda Superb so it will be a good test. I think most cars can manage 40mph hahaha, I'm certain you mean mpG, not mpH though

My old man reckons he is getting 60 mpg (calculated using the full tank method - Not the trip computer) and that's with a mixture of town,country and motorway driving.

I had a 206 1.4HDi that always seemed to return well over 50mpg. I was averaging 65mpg but about 60% of the driving was motorway. Replaced it with a 1400kg 2.0 petrol family saloon....

I've recently spoken to a previous owner of an M3 and he said 30mpg on a run can be achieved. Maybe once in a blue moon, on a run, 30mpg is possible, but in the spirit of the thread, I thought we were talking about longer-term averages here... (see below) paulqv said: I know anyone can take a car out and get a quick high average. so PLEASE DO NOT POST SAYING MY XXXX GETS 60 on a long run! Not trying to kick up an argument, J381, but I'd imagine 22-23 combined far more realistic. Right, back to topic subject matter
