1994 E300D Merc estate. 34mpg. ostensibly diesel but will run on (almost) anything
Saab 9-3 TiD Estate (ok, it's manual) on a 57 plate. I get about 42mpg on average over a tankful, commuting Shipley to Barnsley & back.
I reckon it'd be better if I lived nearer the motorway network, without having to cross Leeds/Bradford to get there. Having said that, I don't use the M62 on the homeward leg, I tend to go more urban or the long way round; if I did use the M62, I'd still be there now 😉
Long way round adds about 10 miles but doesn't take any longer...
Rock and roll..!
djglover - we all know you are the nobber who brings a 4 pack to the party and then stands in the kitchen all night being unsociable, yet somehow managing to get pissed on everyone else's beer. In fact, who invited you in the first place?
I got a lift off you as I couldn;t afford the petrol
Speedo's always read high and ergo the on-board MPG figures do as well.
Cleverclogs, did you know that the odometer and speedo are independent systems on a modern car? The speedo can be calibrated differently to the odo and whatever system the trip computer uses.
My car tells me it's doing 29.7mpg over the last 3000 miles. Having checked miles travelled versus actual fuel used (complete brim-to-brim) shows that the computer is accurate (if anything it's slightly pessimistic).
Land Rover Discovery 3. Strangely, it's about 5mpg better than my previous Disco 3 despite having 125k miles on it.
