Folks

Have generally been pretty disappointed with my fuel consumption however just been down to the midlands and back and got 30.1MPG!!! Granted I was taking it steady - adaprive cruise most of the way.

Really impressed with this - does anyone get better?

Is this a co-incidence that it was with Shell diesel as opposed to the typical sainsburys stuff??

That seems very good as my V6 gets less

The shell fuel makes a big difference

thanks Ant - looks like it's the Shell as I would normally fill up at Sainsburys - amazing - I thought they were exactly the same - will keep on monitoring it though.

Thanks for the response - if I could keep at 30ish I would be more than happy.

What mpg were you getting from Sainsburys fuel?

Have been getting up to 32mpg from mine on long runs to the South Coast, at steady speed on the cruise. That is using my spreadsheet and not the trip computer - that is very optimistic and seems to give about 2mpg more over doing an MPG calculation from what you actually put into the car and divide it by the miles covered. I am also getting 2-3 mpg more using non supermarket fuel. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I'm getting nearer 4mpg better than Sainsburys fuel - There may be 4p difference per litre in the price of the diesel but I still think I am quids in. INstead of getting sub 400 miles to the tank I am now getting in excess of 450. I'm doing a longer term test though each time I fill up.

Happy days!

I've been using normal Shell diesel in mine, not Vpower as it isn't available in this area, and the normal shell is the same price as the supermarket stuff around here too. Supermarkets are now only for emergency fill-up's. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I managed 600 miles to a tank whilst in Europe, 34mpg. I normally average about 30mpg in the UK but whilst over here I've been using V-Power and shall continue when I get home now.

Chopped in my RRS Supercharged for a 3.0tdi A6 Le Mans Quattro Avant - Its as quick and returns 40mpg on a decent trip


A huge improvement on 14

recently went from edinburgh to leeds and back in a tdv8, keep to speed limits all the way, and got 32.6mpg over the journey. this was done on shell. find when i use supermarket fuels, i gert allot less.

Those of you wanting to increase oyur MPG could try using MillersOils Diesel Sport4

It has been discussed on here before - http://www.rrsport.co.uk/forum/topic8395.h...llers+oils

I've been using it in my Audi since new

For anyone thinking of getting a 4.2SC and converting it to gas, I'm getting the equivalent of 32 - 38 mpg.

Just driven from Southampton to Stirling on 3/4 of a tank of black stuff in my unchipped TDv8, average speed of 62mph showing on the trip computer for the 9hour trip with a few bursts up to 100/110 and average mph on the trip computer is now showing 32.8mpg after 410 miles, best for a complete trip that I have ever had from it. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Just did 1,800km yesterday from Amsterdam back to here. Took me 15 and half hours so the average speed shown was 116km/hour and average fuel consumption was 11l/100km which is about 25 mpg. Most of the time I was driving in Germany and Austria at about 150/160 km/h although I had a few traffice delays which pushed the average speed down. I am still impressed by the mileage and if I had kept it on cruise control around the 100 km/h would have fared much better. RRS TDV6 (gone)
