Ok so modern cars are obviously great and all, but I am really struggling to understand how my Audi A5 2.0 TFSi S Tronic is so economical? As it’s passed 15k miles it’s really stepped up.
Over the last 2000 miles (a mix of Manchester congestion, and motorways) I am averaging 43mpg. 10 years ago I didn’t get that from a Ford Focus 1.6 petrol. On longer journeys I am getting 52mpg - again our Volvo V40 1.6 diesel only we had before used to get about 59-60 on the same trip.
How are petrols so economical these days?! Read more

The ONLY contact between you and the road is that patch of rubber under each tyre. Why on earth would drivers compromise their safety and those of their passengers by not ensuring that that patch of rubber is as good as poss??

Seeing the same in a Mazda 6 petrol 165PS sport, 2015, I average overall 44mpg, calculated over 2 years using Brim-to-brim (well as near as I dare) fill ups. Which is not much different to what the dash says.
Most miles in a year are urban to local shops with 3 or 4 long runs. Now in the third year, long runs have seen dash indicating 49 mpg and even 50.x at times. This 'average' reading drops as more shopping trips become the norm, to the worst yet 43 mpg....
