Manufactures dont generally supply figures for fuel consumption on commercials, as it depends on what loads etc are being carried

Do you know if your dealer has updated the PCM to the latest spec? (long shot, but it might be worth trying)

As for chipping it, always worth it (worth contacting martynx on here and see if he does connects??)

Not sure if you got this sorted, I have listed this on another post, It may help you.
I also had my ECU checked this week and a new update was installed along with the injectors electronically balanced but can't say if it has made a difference to MPG yet as I need to do a few miles and top up my fuel to get an accurate reading, Also done a fuel injector clean as well.

Hi,
On my last tank (31/01/2008 ESSO Std £1.059 per liter. Diesel same pump each time) fill-up I got 44.7mpg at 38.8mph average speed Max.RPM 3545 Min.RPM 904
Road type and driving conditions
Approx. 60% Carmarthenshire Country Roads 5% Swansea city 35% M4 motorway (Dam engine diesel fed pre-heater on a lot at the moment in the cold)
1/2 load all the time (Big Electric wheelchair weight 21 stone), me not far off that , wife 9ish stone, Golden Retriever dog and sometimes 2 teenage daughters

I have a Scangauge II. MPG - Trip Computer - Digital Gauges - Scan Tool gauge which is plugged into the OBD-II port. This is proving to be brilliant and very accurate and has helped big time in improving the economy by trying different things and driving techniques (I know, I'm sad but I like to play ) .
I use 1ml per ltr of MILLERS OIL - DIESEL POWER SPORT 4 additive from Fastonline which works out at £0.011998 per ltr, alot cheaper than Shell posh fuel! . a German amh-Booster „TWICE“ tuning box set on second setting and a K&N air filter.
