yet another thread on the ' what MPG can i expect from a TD5' topic 
just come back from 6 days in Cornwall - first real long distance run in the disco in the 4 months i've had it, normally get 33mpg average
filled the tank to the brim before we set of - 265 mile journey down from Staffordshire to Herodsfoot (near Liskeard) 212 miles running about down there & 265 miles back - arrived home with needle on 1st mark on gauge (light not on yet ) - I reckon about 10 litres of diesel left
so 742 miles on 85 litres - 18.75 gal = 39.5MPG
not bad eh?
about 600 miles of that was cruising on motorway/dual carriageway at a steady 65/70
