J@mes Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 absolute BS, my missus doesn't get 48MPG out of her 1.6 TDI A3. 28 at a push, more like 22 I would have thought especially if its an auto! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vampire Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 I get low 20s out of my 2.0ltr frontera,stick it in 4wd and play in the mud you can almost watch the fuel needle go down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I a have 1.9CDTi astra and average 42, if i drove with no weight in it like a granny i could probably manage 50+ http://www.motorbar.co.uk/patrol.htm 3.0Di Auto Officially, the Patrol will return 31.4mpg extra-urban, dropping to 20.3 around town. The combined figure of 26.2mpg is not going to frighten anyone who's used to driving a 4x4. We saw 25mpg overall, and that was in appalling driving conditions. The 20.9-gallon (95 litres) fuel tank should be good for 500+ miles touring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zabala Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Some of the later Terranos use the same engine which is a lighter vehicle than the Patrol, average fuel consumption 28 to 30 MPG. I would think the Patrol around the 25 MPG mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know. Real world MPG is what I worked out on several tanks calculated with the mileage done on the tank. The book says high 50's for combined driving!
