...and why get one of these (chipped or otherwise) and then pootle around in it? I suppose 28mpg might be possible, but in reality it's never going to happen.

That's true.

Come on TC tell us if it's 28mpg on the trip computer driving like noddy or 28mpg with the tank brimmed and driving like ayrton senna?  "People simply disappeared, always during the night. Your name was removed from the registers, every record of everything you had ever done was wiped out, your one-time existence was denied and then forgotten. You were abolished, annihilated: vaporized was the usual word."

I drove 200 miles in mixed traffic, including a long stay on the M25. I got an average of 27mpg. When I was driving I was doing around 80.

This as in my TDV8 (Un chipped). I honestly dont remeber getting as good an mpg from the TDV6 and add to that the performance increase I am amazed

Fair play to you Ian.

I cannot better 25.4 chipped on mixed urban.

Over what trip distance do you get 27mpg ???  SDV8 vogue SE.

It would seem that the V8 is better on fuel than the V6, my V6 only gets low 20s another reason to change to the V8  some of my Previous cars

Do you need a reason Envoy

The TDV6 is always going to be better on fuel.

But the sheer power of the TDV8 is sensational.

As they say "You dont get nothing for nothing" Envoy.

Just turning the key when you start it is a joy  SDV8 vogue SE.

Looking at mpg figures quoted for the V8 it would seem that they are comparable with the V6

Its gonna happen, im just not sure when, soon  some of my Previous cars
