Just to provide a bit of balance with the other thread on mpg for the 1.2, I am very pleased indeed with the fuel consumption of my new 3008 GT 180 EAT6.
I've never been overly worried about mpg, as I prefer to just use my car, but it is interesting seeing the data from day one.
I made sure I had the MyPeugeot app active from the moment I picked up my new car, so every trip thereafter would be logged. My first trip (from delivery at 3 miles on the clock) home, in stop/start traffic for 51.6 miles, I got 56.1mpg!
The overall average mpg (from the MyPeugeot app) at present and after 20 journeys (I'm still running on the dealers free tank of diesel) is 44.3mpg.
Some of the fuel has been used by sitting on my drive a couple of times for an hour or so with the engine running, as I wanted to try the various functions, and avoiding energy mode kicking in! That made the mpg dip considerably.
As a comparison, I had a 64 plate C4 Grand Picasso 2.0 BlueHDi EAT6 before, along with the MyCitroen app, so I am able to easily compare. The new 3008 is already almost matching my Citroen, which considering I have the increased 180bhp, I'm pleased about.
As more miles get added to the clock, and the engine loosens up, hopefully the picture will improve. :thumb:
It would be interesting to hear from other diesel owners (auto and manual) to see how your cars mpg is getting on?
