Must've found a 900 mile long hill to drive down.

[dave the builder]

must do a lot of downhill, wind behind driving to get that

oh , that was what you put as a reply , too slow

or his trip computer is telling fibs

my trip computer tells the truth , disappointingly 23 ish MPG

If we ignore the trip and the fuel gauge, he could have just coasted downhill in neutral for a mile or so, I suppose.

Wifey has the 1.6, 135bhp astra k and can easily get 60mpg on a run.

Mine tells me fairly regularly that I've done anywhere between 28-32 MPG in a 2.6 V6..

That uses more fuel than keeping it in gear

So the Velar this week did 52mpg on the commute (that's for the full door to door trip, about 70miles).

I even did a 20 mile trip up the Fosse in a 405 (BIG Range Rover - SV special with full exec pack in the back, so weighs the same as the moon) petrol PHEV (although the PHEV battery was flat), driving like an old lady, 31mpg 

[Rangie]

My 2007 Range Rover Sport TDV8 does exactly as described in the manual 25mpg in town 31mpg on a run , towing the 26ft twin axle caravan down to 22mpg all acceptable to me. The best mpg I had from a diesel was my Mazda6 ranged between 46-62mpg.

[TheBoy]

Well, the dirty, smelly Pussy does around 32mpg. Trip computer always reckons around 38mpg though

Yep.....trip computer on my Indian is about 15% optimistic..........and it's only showing 21.4MPG.

 My Volvo goes into N going down hill on its own, and on the flat, most modern trucks do Eco-roll

[Doctor Gollum]

That has never made sense to me... It's like switching OFF a 500+ bhp brake

Yep, most engines just cut fuel on the overrun these days so it's a bit daft to take them out of gear.

With cruise set, the vebs keeps it in check,   no cruise on no Eco-roll, you can st the over run to 110k, set mine at 100k.
