this is for the 2.5 TD owners.
what do you get on a run, if you keep it around the 70mph area??
-
...not such a long line of other drivers. ;D ;D ;D
Sorry could not resist. :)

42mpg according to the dashboard (possibly more if you're really gentle with the pedal). 2.5TD Auto. Manual may get better.

hmmmm.
im just trying to weigh up the pros and cons of either getting a TD Omega or a 3.0 V6 LPG converted one..
-
...think about service intervals as well then. Oil change every 5000 miles on the 2.5TD.

not a problem for me ;)

its just whether i should pay around £1500 for a 2.5TD or £1000 for an MV6 / Elite and £1300 for the LPG conversion...

I'd say more like every 2/3k on the tractor...

At 70mph coming up the M40 the other day, the inst MPG reading on MID was between high forties and low sixties. Day to day, I seem to get around 37MPG (as opposed to 24MPG on MV6). Both autos.

if i can keep down to 70 for the week,back and forwards to work every day clocks me 247 miles and brim to brim it takes 26 llitres
to fill it back up, if im in late for work or in a rush to get home mode everyday, it takes 33 litres to brim it , best mileage to a tankful before i got scared was 663 the light had been on for 20 miles by then :o and didnt know how long it would go o for that was on a run down to cornwall and back, was well chuffed as it sat on the motorway on cruise at 77mph all day
mines a manual tho

I filled up the tractor friday night at Asda in Wheatley, and cruised up M40. By time I'd got to Ardley, range was saying 644miles, and already done about 18miles by then....

Not set this one specifically yet, so unsure. Its set to default, which is normally reasonable.. I must stress, this was after a 18m 70mph cruise. After a few roundabouts and a bit of booting, it dropped quite a lot!
-
I can imagine it dropping lots!!!
I have no real intention of booting it - its purely for driving as economically as possible.
some weeks i do 370 miles, others I can do alot more - for instance, I've done about 170 upto now, im off on site tomorrow, so theres another 235, then im off again on friday, which is another 240 - 260 miles, plus 70 on thursday. next week i have a 400 mile trip on tuesday, so its all adding up!

one motorway, they are economical.
mine is chipped btw, running a map that increases performance and boosts economy...
