Slightly off topic, does anyone have a 116D ED Plus, if so what sort of MPG are you realistically achieving? I've only had mine 3 days. The 83MPG headline figure is what made me go for it.
Hi Zeb, 116D ED '16 here.
Got mine 3 months ago and has done 3k miles so far, so it's now past the run-in phase.
I've been monitoring the mpg for a little while. And found that brand new the mpg was terrible.
Zero miles to 1k miles it was horrendous. I was averaging 38-42mpg in medium traffic and stop/start over 12miles to work.
2k miles to 3k miles is where I'm really seeing results. I'm averaging 52mpg to work (12miles) in medium to heavy traffic with lots of stop/start.
Having said that...the mpg figures really come to their own on the motorway. Let me tell you, Halifax to London (Wembley) and BACK... which is approx 418 total miles took JUST OVER HALF A TANK. That's about £27ish if my calculations are correct, as it's £50 I believe to full tank.
I've no idea what the mpg was. But I can tell you this car doesn't and won't do close to 83mpg ever. Most I've got is 73mpg and that was today on constant 50mph in 6th over 45miles (M62).
You'll be impressed with the mpg if you drive more often on the motorway. City driving is around 52-58mpg if you keep the revs at around 1.5k constant.
