Whats your MPG ?????

[MrMPuk]

Hi i have a transit 80 diesel camper hightop and i went to scotland and back 900 mile round trip cost £200 and had some left when i got back i thought that was good as some of the journey was very wndy and i do have a suspision my van started off as a petrol because it does seem very low geared, but compared with my brothers old petrol vw camper it cost him £100 to get to newquay and that about 350 mile from us so i think a transit diesel is the way to go luke

So what was the MPG?

[madmark]

my mpg on the mk6 125 with bluefin so its running about 155ps is avarage 34mpg!
i am happy with that!

1994 Transit 100 2.5DI (80ps) only 45k since new. Luton style camper body. All in weighs around 3000kg just completed 500 miles at 40.5mpg so I am well impressed, was optimistically hoping for around 30mpg.

Obviously it's a big heavy beast now so average speed is around 50 although it will sit at 60 comfortable and 70 at a huge push with a long run up! I'm happy plodding along and getting 40mpg, just dont get stuck behind me

Cancel that figure but it seems way optimistic not sure why? (it was calculated when I had a Kmh speedo so maybe an error in the conversion) Since then I have swapped the speedo for a Mph one and it appears I am getting around 23 to 30mpg (could this have anything to do with speedo error?) over about 4 tankfulls.

I tell you what does appear to make a difference and that's where you get your fuel. Tesco fuel gives me the lower figures, and BP fuel the higher. Obviously I'm running fully loaded all the time as well (2900kg) so I guess it's not drastic? Though at current prices it's around £2.5k on fuel a year!

Post here the MPG of your van

What you need to do if fill your van to the top drive around then refill to the top again then use THIS to calculate the MPG

also include any relevent details ie. body type, engine size type of driving and if you think your speedo is accurate

hopefully we should build up an idea of what mpg to expect from what van

Do not post questions or related topics in this thread, they will be removed - this thread is just for the MPG your van has done

DEC 1998S REG- SWB-low roof-no rack-2.5 diesel- plain van, I check it every fill up as I have done with all my vehicles for many years, the Transit is the best I have ever owned, it returns me between 30 and 37 to the gallon, all short work, NO B--- S---, and NOT living on another planet, careful driving is the key.

Mk5 SWB semi hi -1998 on an R. Driven carefully and I have three extra seats and all my clobber. I return at the present pump price about 30 round town. More on a motorway (Not Checked). It all comes down to the pump price.
I can remember putting a tenner in an astra estate and it was 75% full. Gone are them days.... Firkin ell I sound old.

30 what? If it's MPG then the price makes no difference. What engine?

MK6 remapped TDDi 90ps RWD is returning 28MPG on the motorway, thats at a steady 65mph

Right put it this way. I put £10 of diesel in and return driven sensilbly 60 miles per tenner and yes round town and using all 5 gears. Regular filter, oil changes, correct tyre pressures and not screaming it on all gears thats the answer. I love hearing the engine and the right time to change gear.. its just below 2000 revs. No rev counter I just know. Grandad style. Whats the donkey.... its a 2.5 DI.
