Poor MPG...ANY HELP?

[craigmorris7777]

Hiya everyone, I bought my second audi in October after first having an A3 2.0tdi 170 for 4 years. Absolutely fantastic car, quick off the mark, 700 miles out of a tank, brilliant value for money. However I've  (what I thought) upgraded and bought myself a 2015 A4 Black Edition 2.0tdi 177. But there's one problem I can't seem to get my head around. 

It seems slow off the mark, and I'm only getting 450-500 miles out of a tank. I did my research as I do before purchasing this car. It should be pumping out between 50 and 60mpg around town, and up to 70 on motorways etc. But atm I'm only getting about 40 - 50 and I do a lot of motorway miles getting back and fore work.

Just wondering if anyone has the same engine and have or had the same output as me. Or if anyone got any tips or remedies for this? Thanks in advance.

Craig

one word, emissions..... 

i would say you would be lucky to get much better MPG from it. modern diesels aren't built for economy  anymore, they are built to please the lefites,
