I thought I would check what the van is doing to the gallon, when you ask anyone, most people only have a rough idea.I filled it to the top, set the trip to zero, did Millers Dale, Station at Ribblehead, all my journeys to work, giving me a bit of every kind of road, A, B, motorways.
534 Miles to a tank full of diesel, which worked out at ..
29.7 MPG.
Its a 2.5 Turbo, 198000 miles, anyone tell me if this is good or bad.
Then tell us your MPG.
Cheers, Pete

I recon thats pretty good Pete, my 2.5t is running at about 26 mpg but of course its bigger and heavier than yours. I find motorways are the killer and have learnt to keep below 60 mph if I don't want to spend a fortune on diesel.
 
we get 30/31 to gallon 2.8td iveco daily 3.5tv reg twin wheel fully loaded but there is a but we get free fuel so cost is cheap to us or at most is 77p ltr but we on free at moment

3 Tank fulls since the beginning of the year

Mercedes 410D (2987cc) with Hymer S700 (1992)

515k = 17.91 mpg
311k = 18.58 mpg
590k = 18.65 mpg
 
I have never worked it out. It would scare the hell out of me if i did.I just fill up whenever and never go above 65mph. It works for me.Why rush to get somewhere anyway.!!:D:D:D

I know that this is not a proper test but 'the computer says' for three recent trips
Kent - 248 miles, avg 38 mph, 37 mpg
Norfolk - 415 miles, avg 37 mph, 38 mpg
Dorset - 214 miles, avg 31 mph, 35 mpg
The van is a Fiat Ducato 100bhp Adria Twin, just done 2,000 miles. Like biggirafe says keeping to a max speed of 60mph makes a difference. I drive with the display showing the current mpg, which is a useful reminder to have a light right foot - David
 
Hi, The last Murvi, Fiat 2.8 TD, returned 35.2 mpg over 10 years 1999 - 2009 & 116,000 miles. This included the Eberspacher heating sytem which ran using diesel from the Vehicles tank. The new Murvi, Fiat 2.3 TD, Jan 2009 currently has 14,500 on the clock & is returning around 29mpg including the Webasto heating system. Things will gradually improve as the miles goes up & the engine runs in.

Just done 2500 miles around UK in our 2.8 TD fiat Swift Sundance630L. Kept a record of all fuel and mileage. Worst was motorways travelling at 70mph only got 19.7mpg.

14.2 miles to the gallon LOL :D
 
Fiat 2.8 JTD, moncayo halcon, left hand drive, clock is in kilometers,
so i dont know how fast i am going or how many miles i've done, when i have worked it out or have being stopped by the police for speeding i will let you know:D:D.
 
M.p.g.

For a 2.5 engine, normal driving, 29.7m.p.g ain,t bad at all. I dare say that on your drive down to Dover in June, you will get 35m.p.g.
My 2.3 Ducato returns about 33m.p.g, normal driving.
Happy wilding Nig.
 
I love these MPG threads, they usually send me to sleep like the Horlicks that's written.

Dunno what our old van does, it's a Talbot Merlin, 1986 with a 2 litre petrol engine which normally runs on LPG. What I do know is that five years ago a full tank of gas cost us £20, and now the same tank full costs us £44. :confused: My income has not doubled but the cost of fuel has. I don't understand this.:confused:
