Mazda 6 diesel fuel consumption
My husband purchased a new Mazda 6 estate in November 2010.
He previously owned a Honda Accord. Since buying it he has constantly complained of poor diesel consumption compared to the Honda & can hardly manage to get 40 mpg, even on a run.
The dealer is going to check the car out, but was rather vague as to a possible cause. Any suggestions please?

Get it checked out. Might be a blocked air filter or something. Might be the fuel he is using. I always found BP Ultimate to be the best diesel.

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
