Hello

I recently returned from Afghanistan and treated myself to a 55 2.7 RR Sport HSE. My driving is urban and motorway, I am lite with the right foot and use Texaco diesel. I only get 21.6 mpg or 21.7 on a good day. The previous owner apparently had it re-mapped and its on 22 inch wheels. Is the mpg normal? Any advice greatly appreciated.

Mine normally runs at about 25mpg / 18mph av. at commute and 35mpg motorway.

What size tyres do you have? If the rolling diameter is not standard then it will affect the mpg / mph readings.

I'm getting 24ish mpg @ 32 mph average.

You should have got a S/C, way more fun than a TDV6 and not much less mpg

That's encouraging to know... Mine was on 12 when I picked it up... now managed to get it up to 19.8 with short cold trips... Really need a nice gentle cruise at 70 for 50 miles... but I'm having too much fun at the moment..  RRS gone

I am averaging 21-23 mpg in mine with same engine. However my car is not modified and runs on 19's so you are doing ok! Father in law gets 30 in his which is identical to mine but a bit newer. No idea how he does it!

I get about 21.6mpg on mine. Same 2.7 and same year. At the moment my wife is getting 14.6mpg on it as it is a very short journey of a couple of miles. Got up to 27 mpg on a 7 hour round trip to Norwich and back.
