alfa 159 2.4 jtdm fuel economy
Discussion
Had one, loved it, mapped it, drove it, fixed it (to many times)....
We now have a BMW M135 and economy is pretty much the same, my wife got 29mpg round town in the Alfa BMW will do 27mpg, on a run there's not much in it.
Great car, stunning to look but have scratched the Italian car itch

No, my 1.9 struggled to hit 42.
It needs something doing then - my son has a 1.9 159 Sportwagon and its just averaged 52mpg from deepest Devon to the Midlands, fully loadedMy own 1.9 diesel in the (admittedly lighter) GT, averages 50+ mpg with ease, even with the awful traffic around the M42 - it'll do 60+ when taking it easy
The 1.9 responds well to an EGR delete, a remap and a Terraclean treatment

My 1.9 will do 51-52 if I'm being gentle around 70 zones and if I go through enough 50 zones. Usually I see around 47-50 driving around 70.
