Am doing a 500 odd mile run this weekend, towing caravan, so will check what it does with that lot :)

EGR locked open, fuel turned up one turn.

Ours isn't. About the same (190 LWB). not complaining.
I guess around 320 miles to a full tank. Actually once worked it out to about 16p a mile I think.

just filled up - 46.69 litres doing 424.4 miles :D
i knew it was going to be a good en cos it included some long runs :D but still the majority was done locally, anyway works out to be 41.3 MPG :D

now even taking off the 10% for the speedo's inaccuracy its 37.2 :D which isnt bad at all :D
