M4 DCT Fuel range?

[donkamio]

Hi all

Looking to replace the trusty Scirocco diesel with a used M4 dct next month with approx. 10k-15k miles on the clock.

It will be my daily. I am doing approx. 300 miles a week with a mix of 50% mway, 30% a-road, 20% busy town driving. My driving style is quite relaxed.

I've tried to find information out about the 'true brim to brim efficiency' and fuel range of this particular model but it seems to vary quite a lot with most owners reporting mpg of brand new cars. The cars that are now broken in should start to return better figures

The tank is 60l so fill up cost £65-£70. Can I expect a weeks (or more) driving on a tank? Any other owners using their M4 daily? Any true mpg figures?

Always wanted an M and now is my chance but the head says Panamera v6/640d

Thanks all. I certainly would relish 350miles from a tank.

I think 15k miles pa is just on the cusp of acceptable for such a car, any more and the fuel/depreciation would be too heavy to justify. Interestingly a number of the mid-2014 cars for sale have done 18-25k miles in just over a year!

Thanks for the info guys. Filling up at the quarter tank will mean a slightly reduced range but I think at worst it would be 4.5/5 fill ups a month. I think a budget of around £350 a month fuel would be sensible. Hopefully it would be less (original budgeted £250) but that means I can drive without worrying about mpg and would take into account small rise in fuel prices/unexpected heavy traffic/some spirited driving.

How far off is the TC reading compared to real life usage? I find the VW is approx. 94% accurate
