C30 d3 mpg
Hi,
In addition to my 940 which is sadly off the road currently I've got a 2011 c30 d3 r design. However I only seem to get 32mpg average in the town and 40 when driving dual carriageway. Judging from what other people say they get this is well below average. Does anybody know what could be wrong with the car the make it do this? |

When driving out of town theres a few hills but nothing too steep, I might be wrong but 40mpg just seems too low... Also when I drove the car home from London which was all motorway I only got around 40-45mpg |

don't believe what others say regarding their fuel consumption :-) 70 + mph on that journey? I would expect 50 + on a 65 mph trip on the motorway just look at your instantaneous fuel consumption for a week you will soon see where its going wrong when it shows less than 20 mpg ..

Just a thought...you are calculating the consumption yourself and not relying on the sumblime work of fiction thet is the OBC?
