My average is around 35 too, most of my driving is too/from work on the A34/A4074 :sick: I might as well just get a petrol car that I can enjoy  :grin:

I enjoy driving my derv is pretty fast, i do miss the noise of the petrol engine but if i only get 35mpg in a PD150 what the hell would i get from a petrol lol  :grin:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

around 150 miles to a full tank which is mainly around town as £5 gets me 25 miles
although £30 is a full tank for me, got to sheffield and back then drove around town for a while, around 220 miles on £30

£65, 574 miles. Diesel FTW. And I only have to use it for SDP - no commuting!  :cool:

The old 8v would do 400 miles on the same amount of fuel if I was lucky. So that's an extra 150-odd miles roughly per tankful (if we're being pessimistic), which is a half decent increase on the mileage. 150 miles extra is over 35% more mileage from the car. I like diesel. :smug:
