Constant Driving 55 mph on the back roads to Spain 46mpg

Hymer

We have just got a new Hymer Exsis i698 with 2.3 150 euro5 fiat engine have done 1600miles and full tank to refill average 30.2 mpg.taking into account it's still running in should get better.
GVW is 4250kg but when loaded with our kit and gas and fuel around 3100kg
 
Looks like I'm averaging 30mpg in my 22 year old 2.5 td Hymer. I'm quite pleased with that. Mind you, I've only done about 400 miles in it so far.

Well that bodes well for ours then if you are getting that mileage from an older van still I suppose it depends how heavy the right foot is!
I tend not to rush anywhere and use cruise control as much as poss.

I don't have cruise control and try to stick around 50mph, well, that's all I could manage on these Welsh roads. It was fun singing "We are the south preservation society" as I flung my way around the twisties of Snowdon :)
 
we do the same if in the atlas mountains maroc or coming down the pecos de europa in spain .
how the walkie talkie radios stick it is amazing . you cant help but sing it when zig zagging the narrow roads . good on you keep it up.
if you are lucky you might never grow up.
we get more childish every year. even every day.
 
our only mode of transport Mercedes m/w sprinter 52 plate 2.2 recorded all fuel used over six months just under 5.000 miles worked out at bang on 32 mpg ,full mix of driving from school runs to M/way 200 m and in between , 70 to 80 mph M/ways legal and just over every where else , ex HGV driver give it some when its safe , greasy biker give it some any way ,
 
Brim to brim measurements = 30 mpg plus or minus 3 depending on
rural/town/motorway and
exuberant or calm driving.
In my 2.3 JTD, 5 gear, 2004 Fiat Ducato/Murvi.
 
Just returned from the West coast of Scotland.
2013 Ducato based Swift, 3.5 Tonne, 2.3 Euro 5 engine, 6 gears, hi -line.
1200 miles 'up hill and down dale' driving, anyone who travels up there will know what I mean.
26.5 mpg using the old method of calculation.

Pleased with the mpg bearing in mind the roads I was travelling.

the size of vehicle you are talking about IS big, so you cannot expect too much..............I get 43mpg generally from my 2003 2.3jtd fiat trigano tribute, which I know is confirmable, because a few others get the same on the trigano forum, but you have to use all fuel saving actions, and drive very steadily...........I will not be trading in any time soon...............steve bristol

I had a 2005 2.3 tribute for 6 years and recorded every fill-up using the motorhome logbook on M/H facts (12,000 miles a year) and averaged just over 30 mpg, also used day to day as only vehicle. Present van A Class Hymer 504CL with a 3 litre engine had it 12 months same mileage same usage 36.56 average.
 
mpg

i keep a record of fillups in my satnav. It then gives me the overall mpg, currently over 13000miles. It works out at 27mpg which, coincidentally, is exactly what the manual says! Fiat 2.8 intercooled turbo diesel EuraMobil 635 with okd fashioned mechanical injection. Year 2000.
 
Our van called the LAB SRV (Scientific Research Vehicle), is a 2006 Burstner Delpin Performance 821t, with a tag axle.

8.2m long, low profile, 5 ton, Renault 3l 140cdi. 6 speed manual with cruise control.

We had the LAB 3.5 years, travelled over 40k miles all over the UK and Europe. We love scenery so inevitably mountains, lakes seaside view views beckon.

Generally we try not to use motorways, there is so much more to see waya from them.

So our consumption is overall 27.5mpg, which we are very pleased with, how ever this can drop to around 25mpg if all mountain roads but it can also rise to 31mpg as we noted when cruising at 63mph on level roads in Spain.

For the size and weight of the LAB we think it is treating us well.

:drive::drive::drive:
 
Had a few trips out now with my new motor, Fiat Ducato 2.3 6speed, on the dash is an arrow telling you to change up or down depending on the labouring or over run and I get between 25 to 28 mpg.
