I have only covered 1200 miles in my FL2 TD4 manual and ave 37mpg on a 70 mile round trip(10 miles city driving) I am not driving the car hard. On the open road I sit at 60mph with the cruise control on. Will my mpg increase when the car is fully run in? as my FL1 TD4 was giving 40 mph on the same trip.

I now have 12,500mls on the clock and have noticed very little difference in MPG from when it was new to now.

It seems to be 'hit or miss' with regards to mpg, some people get very good fuel consumption and others don't. The salesman that I delt with stated he gets 42mpg on a similar journey to me. I will try some Millers. I used to use Redex in my FL1 and was convinced that it did help. |

Just returned from a weeks trip to the west coast of Scotland and Skye and happy to say that I achieved an average of 40.1mpg over 1200 miles. ______________________

I'm regulalry getting over 40 (indicated, although I'm calculating just about 40 based on miles done and fuel added from fill to fill fro the first 4400 miles).

Just returned from a holiday in France managed a paltry 35MPG (rather than my normal 31) plus a 90 euro fine for speeding courtesy of the local gendarme (although that could have been 180 but the first time I got let off when he saw the GB sticker). |
