265 on mine I think. A bit over half left. Tells me I can do another 270... bet it's lying.

Yours is going damn good. I thought I'd be very lucky to get 450 out of mine for a full tank.

What kind of roads/trips are you taking it on?

Have to admit probably 400 of them is 50 - 90mph motorway M1 / M25 / A1 so that's probably why, but my old Avensis I had would of run out of diesel around 80 miles ago!!!


It'll be like that for most of its 75,000 mile life to be honest. (be a good purchase for someone though!)

I'm going to try A19/A1M/A59 tomorrow morning at about 5:30-6am, instead of the usual A19 all the way to York. I'll see if I can do any better. I'll probably just stick the cruise control on at 70 and see how it goes.

Today I averaged 46mpg on the way home, and that was lots of slowing down to about 20mph with idiots turning off at the last second and being stuck behind umpteen tractors for miles.

I would think a constant indicated 60/70 for most of the journey would be more economical than that?

Eveb mines not that bad!! 460/480 - with 1/4 idicating I can do another 80 never happens tho!!
today over a 103 mile trip it actually went up to 44 this is a first, but on the way back it dropped down to 36 and same sort of speeds [ at one stage on a feathered throttle I seemed to lose ALL power and then it came back on??!! [the diesel clatter changed too]

Just had mine back from the stealers they managed 50mpg at 50-55 mph -this I have never achieved time will tell though. No fault codes logged re the injector noise.
They also let slip that they had UPDATED the ECU PARAMETERS??!! so it will be ineresting to see what happens over the next few weeks> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

It's worth noting that DPF clearing affects the fuel economy and performance. Also figures should be collected when the engine is hot. I suspect the computer isn't too accurate when things are cold.

We get 45mpg in normal fast A road/motorway/some B road driving these days.
