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.

I have found it really does depend on how you drive. Treat it gently on a run and be rewarded with up to 45mpg - Drive at high speed and it will drop to 36-38mpg.

I do a real mixture of motorway and London driving and normally average 37ish per tank full.

Others have said it on here and I would also recommend a dose of Millers every few fill ups as the milage piles on - Mine definately runs smoother, but I cannot say I have noticed any improvement in MPG.

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.  ______________________

Just returned from a fortnights trip to the Ardeche,up to Annecy and on to Nancy then back to Zeebrugge 1500kg caravan on the back, 3 bikes on the roof and an average speed of 58.9 mph so towing mostly at 75 ish and guess what ..................20.5mpg towing (1958 miles) 40.2 mpg solo (685 miles). now got 35000 miles on the clock and getting a UK average fuel consumption of 38.6

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).

I filled up in Birimngham on Wednesday evening and then drove 2.2 town miles to a friend's flat just off the Aston expressway A38M. I got up in the morning and drove A38M, M6, M1 to Milton Keynes between 6 and 7:30, did a day's work at a client premises and then drove home to Harrrogate departing at 4:45 M1, M18, A1. As I got off the A1 at Wetherby, the trip computer said 48.2 on the tankful and this dropped to 48.0 by the time I got home on A/B/local roads.

Local driving on Friday and at the weekend has brought it down to 43.2 now but it just shows what FL2 will do motorway cruising at about 60-65 (but <50 between J26 and 27 on M1!).

Just done a 120 round trip today on a real mixture of roads and including some very heavy footed overtaking I was astounded to average 47MPG Just wanted to share my good news

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).  

I think I win here guys!

Reset my trip 1200 km's ago and have an average of 17.6 l/100km which is 16 mpg (13.3 mpg (US)), which is 2 mpg better than my other car  Once you've tasted GREY you'll never go back!
