DPF and fuel consumption
I had a DPF filter regeneration last week at an authorised dealer garage and I have noticed increase of fuel consumption from around 11 l/100 miles to 17 l/100 miles. Is that normal? If not what they could have done wrong?

This reads as if regeneration is taking place continuously and that's what's burning the fuel.

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.
