I'm happy with the fuel economy of my i30 so far.

On 31st May I put 42.93 litres of standard diesel in, costing £57.91, which brimmed the tank. One month later I still have 3 bars (or a quarter of a tank) remaining.  :cool:

The trip computer in the car shows an average of 49 mpg, which is pretty good considering the traffic that I've been stuck in, and a couple of 60 mile round-trips, mainly motorway driving, at 70mph.

One thing I didn't do was make a note of the mileage  :-[, despite doing so religously for two years as a company car driver! I've just subscribed to Fuelly :link: Fuelly - Track and Compare your MPG, so that will change when I fill her up again today!  :happydance:

Just filled up tonight as down to about a gallon remaining, and according to Fuelly, an average of 50.7 mpg for the month. Quite pleased with that, as most of it is still shortish commutes to and from work.  :victory:

That's 5.57 l/100 which is excellent for tank 2. It will only get better, still.  :goodjob2:
