Apr 2011 at 23:47 I would say that's a decent figure, if from a manual just above average, if an auto then it's doing well. My 2.6 manual gets up to 32 mpg realistically and can go down very low when it wants

Indeed, my last tank, including a run to Nottingham on Saturday, was 17mpg. I was, as usual, fashionably late Roll Eyes

Apr 2011 at 16:41 3.0 MV6 estate 25.6 mpg averaged over the last 500 miles. That's mainly 10-15 mile trips on 30 and 40 roads with the odd motorway stretch (at 60!), and carrying 200-300kgs of books on the return trip

Should add... The was the MID reading (which is accurate on petrol) so probably around 17-18mpg on LPG Roll Eyes
