I'm very impressed, I've had 3.5 110, 3.9 Classic Range Rover Vogue, and 4.0 Discovery 2 all V8's and never had more than 14 to 16 mpg on petrol

What should my 95 2.5 DSE do to the gallon then?

Long term average on mine is 24mpg and close to 30 on a long run at 70 mph with brim to brim checks every fill. However I don't do many very short runs, usually 25 to 30Km with no traffic. In the UK it drops to about 20/21 with the traffic in the south. I always have the aicon on too.
My project P38 is doing 22 mpg, but spends some of it's time on diagnostics burning fuel and does more short runs.
