So who else has the sports auto? I've got it and is supposed to be more efficient along with being quicker ;)
Here we go :) To keep it simple. It's physically impossible to get more mile per gallon out of a petrol than it is a diesel IF they are driven in the same manner. A quickly driven Diesel will muller a quickly driven petrol in the MPG stakes period.
This was a trip today. 2 miles in small town 6 miles twisty B roads 9 miles A roads then 2 miles of City driving.
The car was hot and moving when I reset trip. Also worthy of note is average speed 35.4. This was a steady drive not going over 60 mph and one traffic light race ;) the car is Automatic (sports) and it was in Eco mode except for the traff light race.

Good score! Was it with an Sd?
Yes SD
UPDATE
Just done a long trip (170 miles)and averaged 63mph and achieved 50.2 mpg now that ain't bad :). I didn't use cruse control once but had my limiter set to 85. I started trip in city centre and ended on country roads with 120 miles of M way in between.
Amazing what you can do if you try hard. But boy is it boring
