Another New DS3 Owner - Almost! But I'm hearing bad things about economy

[ZACK]

I Get 70 Often In My 90 HDi...

[Sameer_DS3]

Ignore the 'official figures' in the brochure as they are not representative of real world driving, in fact the VCA fuel book actually states;



I tend to advise my customers that DS3 HDi tends to achieve around 50-55 MPG

Hopefully its because its early days and people havent finished running it in. higher mileage car owners have generally said it gets better

[Sameer_DS3]

oops i should have multi quoted. noob

[Sameer_DS3]

Also im getting the newer start/stop system car which should be better on the economy. Anyway economy aside as even 55 is good, what do ppl think about the sat nav option? i didnt order it and im feeling like i shouldve.

Well I've got the eHDI 110 Dsport + 3 weeks old and done about 250 miles so far, ( are you all sitting down ) I'm getting 33mpg lol so not very eco and that's not going above 2500rpm.

That is truly ridiculous. Can u not take it back to Citroen? If that is what I'm expecting then I'm having second thoughts. As excited as I am for my car next week I would rather lose my deposit. That's awful

Woah ! Hold Your Horses Cowboy,

Tez If You'd Flicked Through Some Of Our Many Older Threads It's Common Knowledge That The HDi Units Don't Achieve Their Full Economical Potential Until Between 1000 - 2000 Miles,

Mine Was As Bad As Yours 1st Off ( Around 30Mpg ) But Now I'm Getting 70+ ( That's Proper Working Out, Not Going By The Cars Computer Which Tells Me 80-90 lol )

[Yellow]

There's a few of us around the herts/beds/bucks triangle. You getting the car from Sportif?

[tez]

Don't think mine will get much better and it's not the car's fault, I only do short trips, it's only mile and half to work but should see over 40mpg has i was getting 37-38 out of my mapped 207 HDI 110 and that was with having some fun in it.

Live life a little- forget yer smokey, noisy, diesels and such

forget yer MPG unless its on the floor

Put yer pedal to the floor- only live once
