Hi all,

My name is Crispin and I am a new member - almost sounds like another meeting I attended :-)

I have a very dodgy car history, I have just got a Audi A3 Sportback 2.0 TDI which I am loving, before that had a Vauxhall Zafira (I am sorry - I was married for a while), before that a TT 225 that I had chipped, Lotus Elise sport 160, 2 x TVR chimera's (great cars but unreliable!), VW Corado G60, a Peugeot 1.9 GTI, a Ford Escort RS Turbo, an Open Manta....... a Mini etc

Basically the above shows me going from kid to man to mid life crisis to man.

Anyway - enough rambling on about the old days - I am trying to find out some info on MPG for the new Audi as even driving carefully I am getting 37mpg. I was hoping for at least 45... if not more.

Does anyone know if 37mpg is good for this car (most journeys are between 7 and 10 miles - starting in a town, 4 miles down a motorway, finishing in a town). I have been trying to go easy on the accelerator so I don't think its a lead foot issue.

Any advice if greatly received - thanks
