Poor fuel economy on new Espace
Discussion
I bought a nearly new Espace with a 2.2 diesel and auto box. Thought I'd go for the diesel for better fuel economy, and the brochure said between 31-38mpg, and yet around town I just scrape 24mpg and no more than 28 on a run. I don't boot it all the time either. This is hardly better than the 22 I used to get with my Volvo T5, which was at least fun to drive. What with the terrible (and almost dangerous) turbo lag in 1st gear as well, I'm not very chuffed.
Does this seem right to people, a modern 2.2 diesel only giving 24mpg? Should have bought a petrol.....
