Bought new last September. I have never had anything like the fuel consumption given in the handbook, in fact the best extra urban I have achieved is 26mpg which is the urban fuel consumption figure !
Has anyone else encountered the same problem and if so, any ideas ?

Not driven or owned one but lots of owners complain about the mpg of this vehicle on the WhatCar website :

Remember, what is quoted is often worked out under lab conditions, but rarely (if ever) achieved in real life.

Marion: your car is also quite new, and possibly not fully run in yet.
Several contributors here have reported lower than expected MPG on new Honda Accord diesels too, but the economy has improved after ~10,000 miles.

My Vectra diesel didn't seem to fully loosen up until about 20,000 miles. Economy improved by about 5-10% from the 17,000 miles I bought the car despite extensive "italian tuning", or maybe because of? :)
