What fuel consumption should I expect from my Renault Grand Scenic?
What fuel consumption should I be getting from a 2006 Renault Grand Scenic both 'urban' and on longer journeys? What factors affect the consumption?
Thanks

Hi Rory,
First of all, there are a huge number of factors that affect your fuel consumption. Tyre pressures is a major one - ensure they're in spec. Next up is your use of the air conditioning and other energy-sapping devices like rear window demister. The weight you carry in the car and whether you have a roof box or roof bars fitted will also have an effect. Last, but certainly not least, is your driving style.
You've not told us which engine you have so we'll assume it's the 1.5 dCi 105hp, as that's one of the most common in Ireland. The official urban figure for that car was 6.4 litres/100km (44.1mpg) and the combined consumption figure is 5.4 litres/100km (52.3mpg).
Hope that's of some help
