300Tdi economy

[nzoliver]

Hi all

Been here before but...
What does everyone get from their 300Tdi (auto).
I get about 700km (435miles) from a tank.

Have worked it out to be about 31.44mpg on average over 3046km (1891 miles).

How say you all???

i'm getting 650 km a tank city driving and about 700 km on the highway. Yours sounds pretty economical.

98 Defender 130 75 litre tank loaded with 2 adults snow/ski gear and 6 huskies sleeping in the rear fibreglass canopy achieves 650quite easily (country and mountain driving) My wifes 98 Disco TDI Auto I think 89 litre tank achieves 800km per tank..........city country driving....

31.44mpg out of a 300tdi auto is pretty damn good! You won't get much more out of a manual!
