So as some will know i do this trip monthly and is a good comparison over a distance to the different vehicles i drive (have driven).
The best i have ever had was the 2013 f30 320d that managed a 4.2l/100km first stretch and ending with 4.4l/100km at the end.
Last time out it was the f30 328i 2litre petrol car that ended at 6.0l/100km.
Enter 2014 F30 320d auto 8speed that now has the coasting feature and running on Sasol 10ppm diesel.
We leave Vereeniging,set to ECO PRO because coasting only works on this setting,and set speedocruise to 105km/h as the road has a legal limit of 100km/h. It's all about the car i am just a passenger now.
After 66km at an average of 100.2km/h i have to take an image because i have never been in a car that can register 3.9l/100km.

I carry on to Potch and that consumption continues till i get to the Potch mall and consumption now reads 3.8l/100km at ave. 97.9km/h.

Head towards Klerksdorp with a 10km stretch of 80km/h before road becomes 120km/h.We stop at first traffic lights in Klerksdorp and see 3.9l/100km ave. speed 94.0km/h.The Potch town of 12 traffic lights and the 10km stretch of 80km are responsible for the average that has dropped.

Go do some shopping,visit and head back.
We get back having gone back up (Klerksdorp is 300mts altitude lower than Vereeniging)and end with a distance of 272km at 4.2l/100km.

The car shows a range is available of 1357km.
This test shows how frugal the F30 320d is,that 10ppm diesel cannot be all that bad,and that the 2litre diesel is 30% lighter on fuel usage than the 2litre petrol car.

As far as comfort goes,it's the same for all the F30's except for the Hybrid i had that was a Sportline and stands out all on it's own as the most comfortable.
