The little button, top left of a group of four, to the right of the steering wheel, which scrolls through options for things to display on the main readout where you normally see battery percentage. Jab that a couple of times, it will display an average consumption figure. Mine stays rigidly at 4.4, whatever I do.

3.9 is mine over 40k miles I guess - a lot of which is motorway.

That's interesting. Most of mine is town miles and sub-60mph. I imagine you're around 70mph a lot of the time to be getting such a comparatively low figure? I suppose the car doesn't feel much different at 70 in B+ECO.

I normally just sit at 60-65 (spend a lot of time in with the lorries on the inside lane on mways - or on fast A roads where again i cap it at 60 - i would guess 50% of those miles have been at 60mph

Is yours a tekna - I have always wondered how all the extra weight of leather, heated seats bigger rubber/tyres affects economy versus a non Tekna ?

Or maybe its just my clogs !

Nay lad, mine is a povvo Acenta. Resplendent in the worst colour available, Dog's Cock Red. 15 reg, had it 2 years and gone from 8k miles to 28k on the clock now.
