About to buy a 2016 1.8 Auris Hybrid with sunroof..

What actual MPG does this car probably will probably achieve and what drive mode is recommended for efficiency? 

 

Sorry for the newbie question

Hi, between 50-62mpg in real world.

I average 50 mpg in mine. Excel model with 17 inch tyres. I keep it in Eco mode most of the time although some people find that too sluggish. It helps if you have a relaxed driving style.

It depends on what kind of driving you do. For me, the sweet spot seems to be where roads I’m doing 40-50 mph. I can easily get over 60 mpg on those.

I'm averaging 52mpg over the last two and a half years. 45mpg in winter, 56mpg in summer. Excel on 17" non-eco tyres.

I don't find much difference at the pump between eco and normal, it mainly just changes the throttle mapping. 90% of the time it stays in normal. I tend to use Eco on long journeys as it reduces the aircon and gets you a couple of extra mpg.

Average (confirmed at the pumps) is 62mpg.  Best is 71mpg during this warm summer.

Daily commute into Nottingham, real world driving I get 55-65mpg regularly. 

I get more with external temperature around 20-21C and light traffic.

The MPG really depends on how we drive. Normally flow with traffict and normal drivers, we get about 4.5 L/100 km city or state roads and 5L/100km 56 mpg(imperial) motorway at 120km/h sped. I just came back from summer trips to Alps in France and Switzerland for 1500 km and 4.8L/km or 59 mpg average. Cruise speed is at 120 kph/70 mph and I drive on the mountains at moderate speed not at the speed limit but go down at slightly higher than speed limit with D mode all the time because not so much long steep slopes. 

If I do hypermiling pulse and glide or cruise behind bus or truck, 3.5 L/100 km, 80mpg is possible.
