3.0 v6 cdti fuel usage

[leesheridan]

just wondering what peoples fuel usage is like.
im pretty much a motorway user (90% id guess)
im just getting towards 500 mile to a full tank (75 quid ish).
thats with modest driving 65-70 with cc on and the odd blip to overtake.

Usually 350 miles I normally refuel at the point it needs 50l to refill it. I don't like to get the tank right down. Mine is a 2006 manual estate. Shortish journeys at urban speeds, a few longer journeys and a DPF regeneration per tank.

Up until may I was doing 95% motorway doing about 7/800 miles a week an getting between 470 & 500 miles to a tank roughly £75

Now I'm traveling through town roughly 14 mile each way to work. Getting about 350 ish miles to a tank.

Not the most cost effective car to run through town. But it is lovely smooth motorway cruiser with so much power.

I'm around 350 miles from mine and that's about £60 auto box and short trips can be a lot less especially with BMW 335i's like this evening on the way home.

You should be able to achieve 35mpg, maybe 40mpg if you rarely use all 180 horses
Mine has been showing an average of 34mpg for a long time now, it started off at 32mpg away back in 2006 but changed to 34mpg when the clutch was replaced (battery reset)

Is it a y30 or z30d? That consumption sounds alright to me. My y30 was always a little better then my z30 i gess cause of the dpf
500-600 miles to a tank on a run

Matt have you still got the VXR? What is that like in terms of comparison? Around town/motorway, mix of both?

I reset the trip computer when I purchased my Signum V6 3.0 CDTi and have done just over 55k of mixed driving and the average over all of this time is 36.3mpg. I can easily get 40-44mpg on a steady motorway run (keeping under 70mph) and once managed over 50mpg but this was a very, very steady motorway drive with an eye on trying to see what the best consumption I can get!

55 plate estate manual Y30DT. Mostly dual carriageway/motorway. Average 34 mpg

Mine does as low as 25mpg doing school, mile there mile back. On a run Upto 50 mpg. It's an auto estate.
