Whats your MPG ?????

[Vee4]

1994 Mk4 van 2.0 Pinto, I'm getting 22 miles to the gallon so not too bad I thought.

I remember the bad old days of 20 mpg in my Pinto-engined Mk2. Now averaging 41mpg in the Ordinary Van (Mk7).

Just worked mine out, on my 57plate long wheel base, high roof 100ps 2.4 tdci 5 speed with 5.11 rear axle, and I am getting 30.22 miles per gallon. Im well happy with that.....

11-Plate SWB 260 115PS, current average - 36.2, but i admit to driving like a plonker and thats mainly around town... but on the runs ive done down south i manged an ave. of 49.8 .

2008 t350 mwb 115 rwd fully loaded plus towing 1 tonne caravan 225 miles as 55-60 on motorway plus 30 miles on back roads empty returned 22mpg

2.3, 16V does 25mpg and need to replace idle valve - no parts . So could be better.

Prob might have improved if I stay below 70?

There's no doubt about that. I have the trip computer on mine and the difference between 60mph and 70mph is quite dramatic (I never go over 70mph, of course). Although it's annoying, the long stretch of the M1 between Jct 13 and Jct 10 where there is a 50mph limit for road 'improvements' has probably saved me a lot of fuel in the last two years.

My van has the 115 TDCi (although as I understand it, the hardware is the same as the 85) plus the 6-speed gearbox, and the most efficient running is with RPM between 1750 and 2000. That is the maximum torque range for the engine.

I'm still averaging around 40mpg, although it's difficult to keep that up in winter conditions!

11-Plate SWB 260 115PS, current average - 36.2, but i admit to driving like a plonker and thats mainly around town... but on the runs ive done down south i manged an ave. of 49.8 .

Ive done 3 full tanks in now and still only gettiin 33mpg

Driving very conservativley and mainly motorways ,so something is wrong.

The roof bars will be knocking the mpg a bit, One of our 350s saw a drop of 50miles to the tank once the roof rack went on

[rab501]
