If you have DIS you should see up to 50 mpg, I have driven the boss's old
1.9TDI loads of times, and on a run @ 70mph the most I have seen is 54mpg,
it's also the same engine as in the Passat which again can touch 50mpg with
care :) (these are av mpg not instant)

DIS?

50 mpg is what I was hoping for. It's the reason I decided to ditch my
much loved A4 petrol. OK the new A6 sounds like a bus...ok a small bus.
But I do love it anyway. The extra space is to die for. :)
