I'm getting 32mpg from my a250

 

A250 engineered -Between 26 and 34 in sport and have had up to 39 in Eco mode with me driving in Sunday driver mode It was worse than that to start, got much better when I went over 1000 miles, should get slightly better with more miles

 

What MPG are you getting compared to official figures.
I have a A200 cdi AMG Sport and get 44.6 mpg combined on an average week - Driven fairly easily.(well below what it should be)

Let us know what yours does.

You don't say how many miles the engine has done or if you are in an auto or manual?

Unfair to make any judgement until the engine has loosened up a bit. As has been said - 1000 miles minimum.

In my experience with my last 2 new cars (Audi TT and previously a C250CDi) my overall fuel consumption was always close to the manufacturer quoted mpg for the urban cycle (rather than the combined cycle which I would say is impossible to achieve in the real world.)

Aim for this and you won't feel so disappointed.

Hi I my car is A200 cdi AMG Sport manual with 2500miles.
Maximum mpg was 46,4mpg on a 510 mile round trip.

 

Thanks. The official urban figure for your car is 51.4mpg (or 50.4 with 18'' wheels which I assume you have as part of the AMG pack). I have to agree that what you achieved on a run wasn't brilliant but its close to the urban. I'm sure (I hope!) it will continue to nudge up as the miles increase.

 

This is a useful site for official mpg figures as it takes into account larger wheel size on option packs i.e. AMG Sport. Fitting larger diameter wheels = worse mpg (but they do look good!

)

Strange - see if it works this way;

Direct.gov - Car fuel data

 

Have you guys seen this site:
https://www.fuelly.com/

Its pretty useful for recording and getting cost breakdowns and MPG etc. I've got my BMW and motorbikes on here and its pretty useful/interesting.

 

I've only done about 700 miles in my 180 cdi but in getting 54

 

My engineered did 40.3 on thurs on a 14 mile trip. Best i have had for average mpg on a journey of a bit of b road and motorway. Which I think is brill.

that's really good... I've only had a couple of long runs (80 miles plus) & have had around 33.. booting it a bit to be fair tho..& always bad around town.

 

Come on!

 

How sad is that taking a photo of it! Couldn't help it though. Pretty stunned to get that from petrol engine, I wasn't even trying to drive economically.

 

I see you have left your stop/start switched on.. do you think that makes a difference?

Also.. a small item but annoys me that the temp gauge sits at 90 in no mans land between 80 & 100 .. I like things straight !! ...

 

Ha ha!
Not sure about the stop start. My route to work has a few traffic lights with long sequences so I think it may help. In traffic I'm not sure?

 

what's your average across total miles of have you reset?

 

A180 CDI, manual- I'm getting low 50s to low 60s on mixed driving and low 70s on steady motorway runs.
I'm only on the second tank of dieselas the car hasn't covered 1000 miles yet, but I drove over 640 milesbefore the reserve light came on (just as I pulled into the forecourt) - the reserve size of 6L seems accurate as I could only squeeze 44Lin before theclick.


Update:
505 miles on second tank

. Lots of town stop-start, mixed with very high speed runs and brutal cold starts saw over 100 fewer miles squeezed out of this tank.

That good going IAMG, I have A180 CDI Auto and I getting now overall ave of 43/45, ave 50 on a good run and about 50 cruising at 80mph - but cant get much more than that! I not a very economical driver though!

 

Any more updates regarding the mpg?

has anybody managed to get higher than 40 on the engineered?

Do you have your stop start off? I've got it on the BMW and have always left it on. Never found it intrusive, same for the A Class I test drove, I found the stop start to be unnoticeable. I will make a reasonable difference to consumption in stop start traffic as all that fuel burnt is just wasted, literally 0mpg useage.

Majad, I think you are looking at the wrong model ifyou are interested inmore than 40mpg
