the germans definitely make good diesels but do you really trust VAG after the emissions fixing ?

To be fair the mpg was accurate compared to real life measurements, not like the D4 Previous Discos
1989 200tdi 3dr
1994 300tdi ES
1995 3.9 ES (x3)
2000 4.0 adventurer
2001 4.0 ES
2005 D3 HSE (zambesi silver)
2007 D3 SE (Lugano teal)
2011 D4 XS (Baltic Blue)
2008 D3 HSE PREMIUM (buckingham blue)
2009 D4 XS (Nara bronze)
2006 D3 Metropolis (Java Black)
2012my D4 HSE (indus silver)
Current 2013 D4 XS (Firenze red)
I do see signs of a tunning box under the hood (only seen the psu so far, need to dig further)
I expect poor mpg while towing (which is a majority of its use) but I’m concerned that it is too low under normal running. I don’t tend to boot it. But it does go like something off a shovel
Wondering if I need to investigate this possible tuning box and remove it.
Or am I getting realistic mpg for a d3. ?
Off roading I don’t really monitor. it’s just playing.

What sort of driving is that from? If around town, short cold trips expect 18mpg or so, cruising at 60mph 30, maybe 32mpg. And everything in between, depends on whether you’re driving like Miss Daisy or like you stole it.
