looks like it's fixing itself, down to 23mpg coming home, a few more traffic jams and it will be back to normal, 20mpg.

All fixed now, back to 20.3 mpg

 

[RangeRoller dt]

Thats only 2 or so MPG better than my V8

But what does the V8 do round town

But what does the V8 do round town

Believe it or not a well maintained V8 with nothing wrong with it WILL do high teens around town mine does 18.2 around the doors, so long as it isn't driven like a moron.
The highest i've got was 25.2 at 60 with CC on

All calculated with pen and paper, i have a fuel journal too, helps identify any consumption issues that might of gone unnoticed..

The trip is actually accurate to a few tenths on mine.

Best I had was 35 on a long run to Cornwall

I think the one in the passenger seat has passed away.

The passenger almost looks like the singer from the who..
I had 11mpg offroading in low, that's the lowest I've ever seen.
