On Monday I drove from our home in Gretna to near Bedford at 4.00am arriving at 8.00am. Then at 5.00pm we headed back home arriving at around 9.00pm

Total miles covered was 567 and I averaged over 70mph there and back with some slow traffic and decent stretches cruising at 85-90mph

What really surprised me was that I got 20.2mpg which I think is good economy for a 4.8 V8 Turbo

Anyone else had good fuel economy in their petrol Cayenne?
 
Just got back from a few days in Cornwall. About 700 miles for the trip. Averaged just under 30 mpg - driving with no concern over efficiency. Just over 1 tank of fuel used for the whole journey. My car has been up for sale for the last month. After it's stellar holiday performance though, I am taking it off the market. It's got to be the best all round car on the planet right now...
 
We run a 4.5 CTTS and would expect about 22mpg on a run like you describe, in traffic, school runs etc, lucky to get in double figures!

Agreed, used to get 18-19mpg in the V8 but the diesel easily does 33mpg and on an recent run through Spain averaging 120kph saw 36mpg over 600 miles. Not too shabby.
 
Just returned to London from a weekend trip to Somerset. So motorway there and back and two days chugging along windy roads behind slow cars equalled 18.7 mpg. Not to shabby for a turbo 3 up and luggage. Regards James
 
Sorry peter. Looks like I copied your 'shabby' comment. Good description so it must have stuck in my mind.
