I went down to Essex last week, 500miles each way. On the way down I was doing a stead 70ish and returned 47mpg. On the way back however, it was heavy rain a lot of the way so I just plodded back at 60-65 all the way. The car returned 53.1 to the gallon which is incredible for a 2.5td.

Aren't we in the wrong area of the forum for this!?
 Mind, you've got me thinking about putting a wanted ad in for a better mpg!!!  Andrew |

That is impressive MPG from a 2.5!
Id love a good 2.1 estate but its finding one! My 2.0 Auto gets about 33-38 depending on what kind of driving. A diesel would be nice. -------------------- 1995 'N' XM 2.1TD VSX Manual Estate, magenta red - 62K miles

Yes it is the wrong area but I can't resist a debate on mpg
Its largely down to the way you drive but my 2.1s regularly return 50+ and on Monday as I head once again to the far north of scotland I will expect 55+ between Axminster and Inverness, and that's without really trying. I reckon that 60 mpg would be fairly easily obtainable from a manual 2.1. - Sponsership anyone?  Peter.N. -------------------- Used to have:
