It wont! People at work have been running diesel leons for ages, they dont get that! My ibiza does about 55mpg as an average, and lots of that is dual cariageway.

Well on a 25 mile motorway journey my 1.8 T got 40.1 mpg. I'm sure with the right driving a diesel could get above 60-65

ibiza 130 should get close to 60mpg, leon I'd expect mid to high 50s. anything much lower and your driving in a non-econimical maner
