Just been to Blackpool for a week, had some days out to the Lake district etc. I used the premium diesel for the whole journey there & back & the dash is saying 41.1 average. Thats the best I have ever had. I did a 120 mile there & 120 mile back recently & got just over 37 MPG. I dont know how accurate the dash thing is but if its fairly near what its saying then I am very happy with that given the comfort & security. |

That sounds about right I get a bit less than that but mine is all stop start and short trips I honestly wouldn’t worry. |

Sounds right for short journeys and should increase on long runs. I hope you didn’t buy a FL2 for economy, because they aren’t economic. |

Bought on the basis of consumption data online, knew it will be heavier than the data ,but not to the extent it is |

I also read the claims for 40mpg and dismissed it! Living in north Devon, not too many long runs except when towing the caravan never got near it. Until I went up to Heathrow in January and did a check............ 42.3 mpg! |

About 24 mpg for us towing the van, sometimes a little less. |

Do people with a V8 petrol do that much less mpg when towing, or does it not drop that much with a big engine ? |

My HSE 2011 manual averages 37.7 which I consider reasonable for an outdated heavy 4x4 |
