Mine is now on 20000km with an average of 25 US mpg.
Yes I do have quite a heavy foot but still.
I have tried a few times to really drive economical but can never reach lower than 0,9 l/100km when I do the 200km trip to my countryhouse. And that is in ECO-mode.
I am with you. I still only have under 300 miles on the car, but am getting closer to 17-18 mpg on my 35d. Granted I am 97% city driving. I refuse to drive with Eco Mode because the car becomes a slug, but I should be seeing closer to 25mpg in Comfort mode, I would hope.
