Hi All
I looked through a few threads on this site about poor fuel economy on the A3 1.4 TFSI COD - people getting 35mpg versus an advertised 60mpg.
But then others seem to get 45mpg. Of course it varies on driving style but assuming you were trundling along at 75mph on a motorway and did a bit of 30mph town/city driving at the start and end of that journey - I don't think we'd vary THAT much in driving style to cause any significant change in fuel economy.
I also noticed that most of the posts were from 2013 or early/mid 2014...and some of the responses were "it'll get better as you wear it in".
We're well into 2015 now, so I thought I'd look for some fuel economy results from people who've had their TFSI COD for a while? And also if you've recently got the same model...what your experience has been of fuel economy?
