Evening all .

I brought my i30 end of May 3000 miles now on the clock diesel auto 

My avg MPG is 35

Has any one else found this or what is your avg

Greetings Haig1uk welcome.

That's 8.07 l/100k which is still a bit high. Your engine won't loosen up till around the 6K miles mark so expect your economy to get better.

BTW, should have started a new thread when entering the forum

Is it a manual or an auto?

For a manual the value seems quite bad to me (I have a manual diesel with now a bit more than 1000 km on the clock and it currently drinks between 5 and 6 litres / 100 km [47 - 56 mpukg*]  depending if I drive more highway or more urban) . But if it's a car with auto transmission I heard that it unfortunately is quite normal that it drinks excessively.


[*I think we're talking about UK-gallons here, right? Because Google always tricks me by calculating in US-gallons... and since in continental europe we don't know anything about gallons anyway...]

It's a diesel auto in the original post

Oh holy mother, you'r right... It's written three times in the original post and I still didn't see it. I must be blind. (Or probably my mother tongue tricked my mind -  because "auto" just means "car" in german, so maybe my mind always saw "my diesel car" instead of "my diesel with auto transmission", haha)

Anyway, I think I remember that we had even worse figures from auto transmission drivers here, no?

We have 2 "AUTO" I30's & we are achieving about 5.5 - 6.2 l/100k with a 50/50 mix of city & freeway driving, so I think the 8.07 should improve over time. Yes the auto will always use more fuel, but I like them better.
