Hi
I wonder if someone out there can help ease my frustration and, maybe, give me a few pointers. I recently purchased a second hand (08-57 plate) Captiva LTX 7 Seat Diesel Manual. The car drives beautifully BUT only returns 26mpg at best on a long journey!!!
I have tried all the tricks in the book. I am driving steadily and the ECU has had an ECO Remap - I won't tell you what the mpg was before the remap!
26mpg is way off the manufacturer's 38mpg and even though they use perfect conditions I DO NOT understand how a manufacturer can market a car at 38mpg and then it give you 26mpg. This way off the mark.
Help!!!
