Why is the fuel economy so poor in our Toyota Verso diesel?
My wife drives a 2011 Toyota Verso 2.0 D4D with 60k miles on the clock. My wife drives mainly short journeys of 10 miles with a couple of longer motorway trips every month. We average around 8000 miles a year and the average fuel economy of our Verso has never gone above 37mpg. What could the problem be as your Real MPG page says that we should be getting mid-40s from our car.

Not a good engine in the Verso (or in anything else): www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/toyota/toyota-vers.../
Toyota has now given up its own passenger car diesels and uses BMW diesels instead. You might see an improvement using Shell V-Power Nitro Plus, but repeated short runs from cold are bad for fuel economy.

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.
Our Fuel Cost Calculator shows you which will be the best choice for you.
Compare the running costs of petrol, diesel and electric cars to make the right choice for you.
