Hello, first post on here..new Cee'd owner and member

We've had our Cee'd for about 4 weeks now (ex-demo with 4500 on the clock), and it's had 2 measured fill ups since we got it. The first tank was used mainly by the wife pootling around town, going to baby classes e.t.c. over 2 weeks, this tank achieved 43mpg.

The 2nd tank was used on a long run which was mainly motorway over 3 days, and this tank achieved 56mpg.

We rarely use the air con and dont have cruise control, we just tend to not speed too much, not get up to speed too quickly, and read the road to avoid braking too much. (I'll add that we're not 40mph in any zone drivers, always drive at the allowed limit if possible)

Also, the 2nd tankful was Shell VPower Diesel by mistake...but I shouldnt think has much to do with it.
