I'm not up to date with whether any of the users who bought last autumn and reported poor mpg have seen decent improvement over the warmer months. I suspect part of the poor averages were to do with new engines going into winter, but may not be the complete story. The headline figures are way off, no doubt about it, and EU6 compliance may be making a bit more of a hit in real world driving than the NEDC test is indicating.

Hope your motor proves to be a "good 'un".
