What MPG do you get?

[The Doc]

My 140 TD was seeing figures of 50mpg on my journey to work every day, with one 3 mile motorway stretch being extremely spirited.
Now on the exact same journey I'm lucky if it hits the 40mpg mark.  This is since it had its 2nd year service.

Are the dealers likely to have altered something to decrease the mpg so dramatically?

In fact I had it up to 70mpg once on some town driving but again after the recent service I'm lucky if it hits 40 odd in the town!!!

Cold weather kills diesel fuel economy btw

Cheers Doc. Just seemed a bit drastic compared to how it was before the service.

On you

you could have knocked the tracking out...maybe go for a 4-wheel alignment.  My economies taken a plunge in the cold, far too much heating the car up and seat warming going on!!!!
