I've logged every single tank of fuel over the last 8,000 mls, Most of my driving is on motorway 80-95mph.

My mpg has gradually been improving;
300mls = 47mpg
1,000 mls = 48mpg
2,000 mls = 49mpg
3,000 mls = 50mpg
4,000 mls = 52mpg
5,000 mls = 53mpg
6,000 mls = 54 mpg
6,000+mls = 55 mpg

The low fuel light generally comes on at 325mls, I fill up at 370, takes approx 31 ltrs.

I tried hard to get good mpg at around the 2,000 mile mark and managed 67mpg ! This was travelling at a steady 65mph all the way to work & back. I reckon now its run-in I could get 70mpg no problem. I want to try it, but its so difficult, I love the feel of that turbo too much !

Thats seem pretty good MPG! My light comes on at around 340 miles! I never put more than 21 pounds of diesel! Though the engine is well run in the MPG should settle now! I don't think I wil ever reach the 70MPG, that be just too boring! Just got my car superchipped and the MPG remained unchaged and even got better in some cases!
