I picked my MCS up last Thursday. I do some 600 miles a week so jumping from a Golf GT TDI into the MCS i was expecing a hike in fuel usage. However I am shocked! When i collected the car I saw an advertisment boasting the diesel could do 550 miles to a tank!!!
My first tank lasted 460 Miles combining motorway and some heavy right foot fun hahaha!, and now my second tank half way through ive covered 250 miles with 260 on the computer to go. All my driving it motorway using cruise control sat at 70! I use to own an 03 MCS before i wrote it off by leaving the motorway ang saying hello to a lamppost!! I never use to get the same economy as i do with the new turbocharged version. If i achieve 500 miles to a tank out of the new MCs that will be astonashing for such a high powered little car. Im chuffed!
