My 2014 90 bhp diesel averages about 45/50 mpg a week, I'm currently using it for delivery work, I am quite a fruity driver, and if you're doing 30, I'm still passing you. My tyres never last long either. So if I can average that, I'm sure you'll get more... FYI I also drive hgvs for a living so I do know how to drive slow and courteous
I wasn't saying I am a good driver 😂 I'm saying I drive big vehicles slow, so thrash the hell out of my ds3, and if I can still average 45/50 mpg, then if you're a sensible driver, you'll get more
Sounds pretty normal to me for a diesel, go on a long run and watch it hit 55-60 easily. For me (with a THP), those numbers only happen when driving long distance as a very old person.

I've had between 48-52mpg around town and short blasts as an average MPG. As Beefy said longer runs with the cruise on etc get it up to almost 60mpg on most journeys
I use mine for a specific commute. It spends most of its life running at just under 2000 RPM. Just reset the trip meter at 6200 miles on 74.2 MPG. Over the last 12 months and 24000 miles it has averaged 72.Brilliant but only due to travelling on a straight run with hardly any town work.
New member so go easy on me, I work as a Sales Exec for my local franchise. At the moment my demo car is a beautiful C3 Picasso Platinum HDi, in fairness, although it resembles a Tonka toy, it drives remarkably well and returns around 50mpg on my commute which is around 16 miles and a mix of rural and city driving.
When I eventually get a DS3 I'll post up my figures.
