Peugeot 106 diesel with TUD 5 1.5 litre IDI engine; 65 mpg average with mixed town and rural driving (used for 2 long school runs). At 115k it has earned its keep and still goes well with surprisingly good performance.
659.

I drive an '06 Clio Dynamique-S 1.5DCi (86BHP version) and I've been getting 50mpg. Only had it a month, but it doesn't go up or down much at all.
I drive 20 miles a day half and half A-roads/town

I once ran a yaris 1.4 D4D for about 2 months, never did a proper brim to brim fuel economy but the rolling average was usually around 55.
That was a brnad new car driven fairly hard on mainly good A Roads and dual carriageway.

Diesels need a good 10K to loosen up. Mine went from 48mpg to 55mpg in a bigger heavier Megane. Clio should nudge 60mpg once bedded in.

Daughter reckons she gets 55mpg from her Clio 80(ish)BHP - commutes N London to Cambridge via M11 - car has done about 30k. Son gets about same from his C2 - he says a low of 52 mpg and a high of 58 (v. short commute - about 4 miles, weekend trips longer). car has done about 15k. Both of them drive "rather enthusiastically" in my view!

Official figure are, well, official figures. I read somewhere that realistically you can knock 10-15% off to allow for the effect of cold weather etc etc. Figures claimed by owners will inevitably depend on their driving habits and are often calculated using dubious data, e.g. single journeys, single tankfuls etc. I personally expect to (and do) get a better consumption (calculated a month at a time) then the official "combined" figure but this is more than likely down to the fact that the majority of my motoring is long journeys.

If the on-board computer is to be believed - well is it ?? - our Skoda Fabia 1.9tdi is acheving 5.5 litres per 100 km and has shown this for at least the last 12 months of mixed driving. We are off to the UK next Sunday (Costa del Sol to East Midlands via Madrid, Le Mans & Dunkirk) This should give us, allowing for some milage in the UK around 5000 km in six weeks. It will be interesting to see what many km on a long haul drive will give us.
By the way, diesel here has crept up to just under 1 euro a litre for "cooking" stuff and 1.04? for Shell VPower. We think that's horrendous, but expect to be shattered, apalled & amazed by French & UK prices!

MPG figures will depend largely on the local terrain, if you live in the flat areas of the Eastern counties, the sky is the limit, but I run a 2 litre turbo diesel (320dSE)in the Westcountry, where there are plenty of hills and narrow roads, and I struggle to get much over 35 mpg, - a figure I was able to match and exceed with my previous 2 litre petrol motor (SRi Cavalier). When I do take an extended motorway trip however, that is where diesel power comes into its own, and 55 mpg is achievable.

Fabia vRS: 50-55 on a long run at steady 75-80, 40-45 on short journeys. Not bad for the performance!
