so it does not seem to be that far out depends if I'm wearing lead boots i suppose

My previous alfa 159 jtdm had a stated combined 41 mpg.A steady 40mph on a level road was the only way to hit that figure.Av was 29-33 mpg.

I'm over the moon my 2.2 cdti is giving me 44-46 mpg without even trying.Together with the superb smooth running and effortless performance well beyond the quoted output has a right to deliver,the car really is a superb piece of kit
