I bought a dark flint special edition TDi cabriolet in March this year. I have had issues regarding the fuel economy (or lack of) since the beginning. I highest mpg I achieve is 42mpg for motorway driving - some way below the 60mpg stated in the literature.
The Beetle has now been in the garage 4 times, each time VW report that this is acceptable. I am now seeking legal advise as this is not acceptable to me. I have now driven 18,000 miles in 6 months (and have a higher fuel bill due to missing mpg).
I was given a Golf TDi last time the Beetle went in for testing, the Golf gave me 57mpg from the same 1.9 engine.
I get 410 miles to a tank.
How about you?
