looks like the cosy wagon gets about 32 MPG. Mk6 2.4 75ps EX BT papworth box usually got the cosybike in the back. 380plus miles on one tank. 60- 67 quid to fill.

Just got this, first refill since I adopted the holding a gear longer before changing up, and not blasting around! 100/280 SWB SHR 2002 mk6. Looking forward to next tank with anticipation of higher mpg.

My turn, I have two figures for you. My 1995 SWB120 MK5 2.5DI 70PS, 218,000 miles. Running mostly empty on short journeys to work and back (less than 10 miles each way) occasional motorway run 100 miles round trip.

362 miles, filled up 62 litres, giving 26.54mpg.

Post filters and oil change. Filled up today after 452 miles 58 litres (@110p/litre! :evil: ) giving 35.43mpg. :)

Fuel guage was reading empty, but I was expecting to fill much more than that, so in theory could have gone approx another 60-70 miles before running out, based on a 68 litre tank capacity. Giving a tank range over 500 miles.

Shows you what a difference a dirty clogged air filter can make. I reckon 40mpg is within reach.

T260 130 glx short n low,
Reset fuel computer at 100mph on motorway shows 17mpg.
Do same at 70mph shows 32mpg.
Do the same at 50/55 and shows 46mpg.
Generally get around 470 miles to a tank but refill at the quarter tank mark, fuel computer seems accurate and always averages 30-32.

26.2 or around 600km per tank purely around town stop and start. bit better than my old 3.9 Disco that couldnt get around the block without refueling. I have just brought some Acetone and giving it a try. weird thing is it (Transit) seems to be running better and quieter? I think its prob more me being psycho somatic but who knows?!
