Being my first diesel car, I was very keen on the whole fuel consumption stats in the brochure. I do a lot of miles each week and was looking for some savings in my monthly fuel spend - which has worked out a treat.
Anyway, reason for the post, I've seen a post on here saying that the first bar in the fuel when filled up used to take forever to go down and now it goes down quite fast. I've got the same effect on my wee motor.
Now, I tend to stick to 63mph on the motorway on my daily commute and I've noticed that my fuel gauge is going down a lot quicker these days and that the mpg readout is a lot less than it used to be a month or two ago. Before it was averaging above 60mpg, now it's more along the lines of the lower 50's, which is still good but not what it used to be. Is this to be expected or what, having had the car half a year now and nearly 12,000 on the clock?
Anyone else (who drives conservatively) noticing anything similar on their DS3's?
