Believe this or not I managed to get 40.2 MPG FROM MY 12 RRS AB 30 Liter Diesel today. Set C control to 59 MPH for about .40 mins on the motorway , any one else get these figures? Or what's your best MPG ?

Probably wasn't necessary to ask the same question in multiple threads...

Oh, I once got 28mpg from my TDV8 on a slow run up to Scotland.. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Correct thanks for letting me know, enjoy your weekend.

Best I have got is 28MPG at 75 MPH on run. 3.0 ltr 10MY HSE Don't believe your on board computer. Start with a full tank, Do your run, then fill up again. Then check your mileage. True MPG itisme

Yes thanks for that your right down in Canterbury today so will fill up record mileage get back to the smoke refill check mileage and calculate what I'm getting. Have a nice week end 👍.

My comp says I'm getting about 25 but I always check every time I fill up & im getting about 21 with my 2012 3.0 sdv6 but only going 3 miles to work then back home.

A few years ago recorded 32 on the lieometer at a steady 65/70 in my D3 driving through France. Managed 31 a year later in the same car. First run without a RAI fitted, second with. Last year got 30 in TDV8 with a RAI fitted on the same run.. 2008 G4 RRSport TDV8 current

My best true MPG is about 35 (long motorway run travelling with a small horsebox. Lie-ometer reading ~37), but I almost never achieve that, because I never try too. I've never made any direct attempt at an economy run.

I think the mods do help to keep the aveage up, and I can still get reasonable MPG gunning it on the motorway. Around town MPG plummets, but as soon as I'm on a decent road it's pretty good - I think the difference is accentuated by the intercooler, taking much more effect with a little speed; intake temps drop sharply as soon as you get going a bit.

While the lie-ometer is clearly not accurate, I do find it represents the changing MPG moreorless correctly - just out buy a somewhat variable degree. I don't keep full track of my MPG though.  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

Our RRS MY11 averages 30mpg which we are very happy with. We have a 5t Burstner Motorhome which varies between 18/23mpg which we use for our annual 2200 mile European 2wk holiday amongst other trips (5k in total). The fact that the RRS gets around 10mpg more is great.

In 1982 I managed to buy my first car, a 2.0ltr Ford Capri (101bhp) which did around 23mpg if I drove it sensibly. I would have loved a 3ltr but couldn't stretch to the 17mpg. I think the RR at the time did around 12mpg.

We also have a new Ford Fiesta Zetec S 1.6Tdci which averages 55mpg but it doesn't give me anywhere near the same enjoyment I get from driving the RRS.

The best thing to do is just put fuel in when it needs it and enjoy.

Slightly off topic but do you know lager is around £26 a gallon. I can get 150 miles in the RRS for the price of a gallon of beer.

Mine generally shows around 13mpg but I have seen it as high as 17mpg.
