220D Mpg Range And 2009+ Models


Recommended Posts

A couple of points, I'm loving my is220d just a few strange bits.

I get 550-570 miles from a tank at the minute, however when I fill up the range only ever goes to 530, its nothing I loose sleep over I just wonder why it never shows what I will actually get. My trip computer constantly under reads by around 1.3mpg. The cars averaging 44.5mpg to a tank with a mix of motorway and town driving, just motorway sees about 46-48mpg to a tank. I still can't work 6th out, my car seems to pull it smoothly at 70mph however it doesn't use more or less fuel than using 5th at that speed so tend to just use 5th.

Also pondering in 18months when I'll get a newer one, are the 2009models really 5mpg better on average? I'll want the car to have cooled seats(I know these were dropped for the newest ones) and not to have DRL's, I think that'll mean a 2010 car will be the newest to have those two things??

I really can't understand why manufacturers get rid of certain options. As far as I am concerned, the cooled seat option is brilliant, although our summer wasn't too brill this year I used my seat cooling option on a number of occasions. I think that I use the 'cooling' option more than I use the 'heated'. With regard to the DRL's I also think that these are a must and I wish mine had got them. I always drive my car with at least the sidelights on and, at this time of the year, with gloomy days being a regular occurrance, I invariably switch to dipped headlights.
