Hi, 3 weeks and 700 miles inot my owenership of a my21 t3 r design pro auto. My MPG has slowly been creaping up and today on a 23 mile journey, a mix of inner city and A roads (covid compliant of course :) ), I got 38.5 mpg in eco mode. Very pleased with that. Can I expect better when we're allowed to travel further?

Hi, picking my T3 up tomorrow albeit a manual (one of the few me thinks), will be happy to be getting that sort of mpg after around 700 miles.

With my mixed driving in comfort mode with start/stop turned off and with no attempt at eco-saving I get 39.5-40.5

I have a T3 manual and I am averaging 42.1 mpg after 11,000 miles mixed driving, no stop start and in comfort mode most of the time.

The VoC app tells me that my average fuel consumption is 7.4 litres per 100 km (around 38 mpg). The odo is at 5,287 km (3,300 miles). I would say 50% of this was city driving, covering short distances; 40% was driving on mountain/country roads (I guess what you would call B roads in the UK); and 10% was motorway driving. I mostly drive in comfort mode. All in all, I'm quite happy, especially considering the weight of the car, which is above the class average.

I have T3 Auto and pre-lockdown my avarage MPG was around 44-45.
This now went down to 33-34 with only 1 mile trips to the shop.

My results are similar.
