Thanks everyone  :y,

 it seems like the petrols are all quite similar in consumption with the diesels maybe 10-15 mpg more.

HMmmmm i'll have to collate all this data and see where it leaves me  ;D

My 1998 2.5 TD Auto gets an average of about 29mpg even if I drive like an undertaker

Mostly short journeys though

My old diesel 405 Pug used to get 55 even when driving like it was stolen!

I reckon auto vs manual costs about 5 mpg for mixed driving (very little difference if any on mway).   2.0 or 2.2 with manual is probably closest to diesel economy (aside from LPG of course)

My trip computer says 19.8 just now, however with careful driving i can see over 40mpg on the motorway at about 60mph, but its not unusual to see single figures when overtaking.
