how about the 320d? im impressed by next doors estate doing 200+ to £20!
Had about 560 miles from a full tank pottering around town and about 5 motorway trips all doing the speed limit of course  ::)
10 quid from the fuel light being on gives me 160 miles  :y

Cant say as never run on petrol, £30 of LPG= 240 round town, 350+ on motorway runs. Best average I have seen is 34 mpg over a long steady run.

per week: around £60 to fill up my 3.0 v6 elite, i get around 430 miles out of a tank, mrs ilovemyelite accelerates a little more conservatively so on a straight week of her driving we're looking nearer 450 - 480. she seems to think this 'proves she's a better driver', thus slower = better. ha! the poor misguided fool...

Well if I watch how I'm driving the most I was able to get with a single tank on an open road was over 650 miles with a full tank.
Car is 2.2 petrol.
Combined driving gets me around 440 to 450 miles thought

Max ever from mine 2.5 V6 auto is 425 from a tank  (from London to Bolton and most of the return leg) - but only once.
Usually 365 - 385 long journies.

The trip computor tells me between 26 - 30mpg variously

I am the record holder.  :P


2.5 V6 auto, filled to the neck - 602 miles to a tank, before chugging out  ;D

Worked out at over 40mpg - and it was all 52mph motorway grandad work.

Second best to this, was my 3.0 Auto Estate Elite Facelift - which now lives north of the border. I did a 70/80mph run in this, and got over 500 miles to a tank.


My current 2.5 auto estate, with 3.0 cams, has just returned 33mpg on a motorway run, with 4 people, 2 dogs, a large full roofbox, and a trailer.

They are economical on a run and awful around town  :y

Best so far is 440 from my 3.0 Elite, that's until the fuel light comes on though - I'm not brave enough to explore how many miles you can drive with the light on! That was over 2 or 3 days on M25, M3 and A12 with one mahoosive traffic jam thrown in so I'm hoping I'll get over 450 when I take it to France in a week's time.

In My Elite the low fuel light comes on with around 8 litres left, then the low fuel warning (fuel low light starts to flash) comes in with about 4 litres remaining
