I've got 63mpg, but found it difficult to stop my right foot from pressing the accelerator.  Had to do 45mph in 6th for about 30-40 mins.

My average over the last 1000 miles or so is 47.2 in my PD150.  Most I've seen is 200mpg once or twice for a second but the highest average has been 56mpg going from Liverpool to Queensferry.  But how can I not resist putting my foot down in that car???

For some reason I get better MPG going to work, than back  :huh:

i only use the car really in the town and going to work and my average is usually 38mpg.it does go up when im doing longer journeys and it pushes up to mid 50's but the short distance driving isnt doing it much justice.thats in a 150pd.i cant help but put the foot down either and most times u dont even realise it  :laugh:

I know how it feels  :undecided:  The temptation to put your foot down is overwhelming  :evil:

But I can get good firgures as most of my journey to work is along the M62.
