Good to know, im a great believer in physics, the amount of fuel it takes to get a lump of metal from A to B wont vary that much outside extremes. It a handy figure for one reason, showing the wife what a great idea it would be to upgrade
)
The actual consumption over a year has very little impact on anybody, unless you own a haulage company. Interesting to know if there's a few miles more to be had,

Thanks for the info, I always do brim to brim, do a quick division with my receipt and stick it on my phone, the D4 doesnt have anything for them to frig 15%.
Currently haggling on APR rates for a second hand Lux

80 mph SDV6

Still got 34, mpg. Amazed
That is a well designed set up -

well talk about one extreme to the other - towed the tintent down to Royan, OK was "cracking on a bit" holding around 65mph - and the trip comp said...............................................................................19.4
yep, and given we know that it lies thats would be around 16/17 in reality. The 2Ltr didnt seem to be working hard at all to do this trip, with only a Landcruiser V8 towing coming past me, but the 2Ltr was obviously gulping fuel in the process . Now to be fair, my 3Ltr D4 was exactly the same towing the same 1800kg 'van at that speed.
So whilst it comes up (22/23) if I stick to 60mph which I generally do when towing, I am not going to loose any sleep over the crap towing mpg given that its only towing for possibly less than 5% of its use. Once the 'van is off the back MPG come back up into the 40's. (saw 46 on the trip comp again yesterday.)
Ah well
