Whats your MPG ?????

[Vee4]

The Ordinary Van (115/T280S, 6-speed) is currently running at about 38mpg. I had hoped for better (i.e. > 40mpg) but I have been mostly on city driving in the last few months. Still, slightly better than the Mk5 which held to 35mpg throughout its long life. The Mk2 did about 20mpg on 'regular'. The Mk1 - don't even think about it!

Slow down Guy and you'll get lots more, the difference between 65mph and 85mph is about 150 miles per tank

2.4 york diesel overdrive box, tall axle (not sure which but 4+od an its ticKing over at 50 lol)

1991 LWB County 4x4, 70ps 2.5di, 5.89 diff(thats what the plate on the front diff case says anyway!), usually loaded with work stuff like drums of cable, welder, compressor etc. Normally driven on mix of dual carriageways/A roads and around town, hardly no motorway miles at all. 25MPG average, normally on Tesco juice. Shell regular diesel returns the poorest MPG and gave a noticeable drop in power. Hopefully getting turbo lump soon, will update on how much difference it makes.

I get a steady 30mpg from my 2.0L 75ps slug with half a ton of tools and gear in it, on back roads. It hardly ever sees a motorway and when it does it's boot to the floor, so that doesn't help much. I have a sneaking suspicion that if I could be arsed, it would get better mpg on long straight roads (sheer luxury) keeping it at 70mph.

managed to get 38.5mpg coming back from Madrid in the week, that was at a constant 68mph (speedo) on cruise next target is 700 miles from a tank

I managed to get 490 miles to a tank and the light wasnt even on so probably would ave gone to 520-530, works out about 33-34 MPG i think.

just done my 1st 420 miles in my new mk5 76ps tourneo (took63.54 litres) no motorway and no town centre driving just average type driving van was empty other than the seats and the diesel was from asda

worked out to 30.05 MPG

quite pleased with that - i'll do a few tank fulls and then have a go with the egr and pump screw

56 reg 135 jumbo trying to run at 50 mph it likes to run faster have to keep slowing down on a good run with a full load 32mpg .if i let the van get its own way and it runs at 75 to 80 on speedo 26 mpg

[stevo]

Managed to get 550 miles to a tank last week, 31Mpg if my maths serves me correctly.

[redvanman]

put £30 of diesel in my 125 tdci LWB high top and its so far showing 200 miles motorway miles travelled and the guage is nowhere near where it started at this morning which suggests mpg around 40mpg - I'm amazed at this mind you I do find this van very easy to drive with a light foot. Not a scientific mpg test I know, but enough surely.....wow
