Well this thread has been running a year now! Here are the results over this period:



So my interpretation of this is:

If you have a petrol DS3 - it doesn't make a huge amount of difference which spec engine you go for. The fuel economy appears fairly consistent across the range.

If you have a diesel DS3 - the fuel economy is more or less the same between the different specs. Possibly the 110 is better than the 90? Perhaps this can be explained by way the gearing and boost is set up on the 110 vs the 90?

Discuss!

Average 46-48mpg on a steady, keeping up with all mid lane traffic, motorway journey, for me so far
When a bit lively in fast lane, drops to around 35mpg
Averages just over 40 so far since new- my exhaust really makes a difference as engine dont seem to work as hard to get to speed.

Did 21500 miles in my THP 150 and readout said 39.1 mpg first 6000 miles and about that the remainder
And a fair bit of lively driving
