Running temperature

Post by mitchumb »

Hi all, read some threads on here mentioning running temperature and how it can affect MPG.
Most seem to think that 90c is the optimum running tempc.
Mine (1.9 tdi se 100) hardly gets above 70c on the gauge. Still getting 44mpg though regular.
Should I be looking for a change here or is it ok?
The computer system only seems to measure one journey with a sign, a circle with a line through it, is this the average for nthe current journey?
