2001 Vauxhall Zafira fuel efficiency problem

Car: Vauxhall Zafira
Year: 2001
Variant: 2.0 DTI
my car is diesel and it isnt given me the right amount of miles per gallon. it has done 127,000 fsh but if i get 20.00 worth of diesel it will give me 120 or even less. as you know diesel is expensive at the moment. i was told by someone it should give you more than expected because its a diesel.also i get a service done on it every six months. can you help me asp.

All depends on how car is driven , where it's driven , how it has been maintained etc. etc. Also with that mileage on car it would have a big bearing on mpg.

Using manufacturers figures and diesel costing £1.20/l £10 would give roughly 62 miles urban driving or roughly 78 miles on a combined cycle. But manufacturers figures are for a new car and even then are seldom achievable and the mileage on your engine would reduce mpg further.
