Nope - that's half of why it's so good on fuel, although I reckon with some adjustments to the advance mapping and EGR to stop worrying about NOx emissions, it'd get even better... Though they put the DV6 in the V50 and it GENUINELY gets like 60mpg all the time, I know a friend with a V50 DRIVe (1.6 DV6 DPF'd up to the eyeballs), they're uninterested in cars, just pootles around, uses it when they have to and doesn't worry at all, they didn't know it had a trip computer - lol! Had a look at the average, which is guaranteed to be the average over the time they've had the car, reading 62mpg...
I return about 48-50mpg on a daily basis, my driving is all backroads to and from work and I'm usually in a rush and not worrying... Lots of cold starts, drive 15 miles, rinse repeat at the moment.
