Yes you can I owned one. Unless the on board computer just made it up....which it might have done! On pure motorway driving it was very good on fuel.
This figure is obviously not achievable whilst towing however.

The 1st one was the 115bhp version and I towed a 4 wheel car trailer with a Rover 90 on it all the way from Brum to Scotland never missed a beat, the
next 2 were 125bhp and truthfully they pull like carthorses the same engine is in the Rav 4 and they pull horseboxes no problem.

Yes bmw on board computers are always on the optimistic side! My 320d would tell me I was getting 55mpg and when doing the sums it was a smudge under
50. The newer e90 330d's are a different kettle of fish and 50mpg being very achievable without driving downhill like a granny

I never actually bothered to work it out, just went by what it was telling me.

Following on from this. What's the general feeling on the skoda superb tdi? Looks very spacious,well specced, and well priced! Any info would be
great as to whether the 1.9 tdi 130 or the 2.5 v6 tdi and whether the manuals or autos are the best option? Thanks

My mate had a 2.5V6 TDI and it was a very nice car he didn't have any bother with it, the only VAG engine that has been widely reported as
throwing a rod through the block for no reason was a 1.9 diesel here's a link to one report.

Just make sure it aint got one of these in it.

Still say Toyota Avensis D4D is best lol.
