Funnily enough when I went to Devon last Easter it was very windy. I used a quarter of a tank more than coming home.

TD estate averages 26-28 mpg, as said depends on weather conditions.
It dropped to around 22mpg on a recent tow upto Yorkshire, very windy.
The return journey did better, with calmer conditions and less beer onboard, around 28 mpg.
