If you haven't reset for a while have a look at your average speed reading, you will be doing well to get 30mph.

I converted this Nissan NV400 last year, completely set up for off grid self contained.
2.3 cdi 6 speed manual average 29 mpg around town and 34-36 on a run ,more on motorways/dual carriageways

Obviously I think that Size, Shape & weight has a lot to do with the MPG achieved.

Barry might struggle then

We don't worry about fuel consumption. As has been said before, it is what it is. We are fortunate to be able to afford our van and although money is sort of tight, when in the van we just enjoy. Having said that, we use www.fuelly.com and input our fuel purchases there. This is the stats from our Lizzy's page.

Honest, it is 'er indoors who insists. Her argument is that when we sell the van, we can show the prospective the fuel consumption. Honest gov!

Where is the wash room and loo etc.

Portiloo at end of the couch , no wash room, wash via sink,use basin 2-3 days then find campsite to empty loo,top up water and have a shower, sorted

I'm afraid I ain't got a scooby mon petit zombeloid.

I do have to fill it with diesel now and again though if that helps?

If not, the trip computer thingy wotsit usually says something like 36mpg on a run.

You're the guy who when told the price of diesel has gone up says "Has it? still costs a tenner each time I put a tenners worth in!"

Soooo,
Along with the MPG (which is kinda sticking around an average of 24-25MPG over multiple weeks, Road conditions & fill ups), I’ve just had a warning light come on the dash saying ‘Ad Blue level Low’ even though the gauge is showing Half a tank (Bottom Right)

Still, as a garage was literally 3 miles down the road I popped in & purchased 10lt of Ad Blue at a RIDICULES price of £19 that is probably the most expensive in Scotland.

In fairness it took the whole 10lt so I’m guessing I’ve got a 20lt tank . However I do think that the dash alarm & msg was a bit eager to show.
MO uses‘Roughly’ 1lt of adblue every 500miles again as an average.
Stupid expensive If you now calculate that into the COST of a fill up
What’s that Around

(Yep, Just looked up size of adblue tank & it says 22.5lt, So Gauge was right, VERY early msg ,,MO has also got a 100lt Fuel Tank.

Maybe it’s time for Backpacking & a Pull along trailer for my Donuts again

Never understood why folk want to put pig p-ss in engines, does it give you more grunt.

 

[Nesting Zombie]

Well with my terrible maths it’s working out at around £30per 100miles of travel in just Fuel n Adblue, Let alone All the other proportional vehicle expenses.

I wouldn't understand it either Trev if it actually contained Pig p1ss.
