42mpg....I wish. My journeys can be as little as 1-2miles or like tonight where I drive 45 miles, but it took 3 hours!!!
Thank goodness for my new TomTom 6000 which routed me round Epsom or I'd still be in a queue! :lol:
My average is 33mpg.
Best so far has been a 400 mile journey at 40mpg. I've done a few improvements since then.
But it is a TD4 Auto.

I was set on getting an auto, but I'm glad I got the manual. Until I get stuck in traffic of course... but I do miss the economy (and speeeeed) of my 180bhp Golf. Oh, it was 180 for a while, and my god it was worth it, but then the head gasket started to leak and then....... ah, well, on it's last trip I got 75mpg coming back from Oxford. Best ever..
Somethings are surprising though. I had a 3.2 V8 Jag that did 32mpg and a 328 BMW cabrio which returned 34mpg on a 90mph burn down to Spain and back. A lot is down to the driver I reckon. I don't hang about but I'm quite light footed with it. My 1.8 Mk1 MX5 was lucky to hit 30mpg, but I ragged it EVERYWHERE! So endeth the lesson.

I once got 10.2mpg but mostly I get 10.1. Prolly would improve on the freeway but I'm guessing it won't be by a lot.

lol, when we lived in Croydon I had a D1 300TDI, loved it and got 30MPG on a run which I didn't think was to bad. When we moved over here petrol was really cheap, so got ourselves a V8 - which was fun until petrol prices headed skyward and the repair bills even more so. Outed that for a diesel Freelander - I'll take 40MPG any day!
Looking at those scarey F2 diesel figures though, think I'll be staying F1 for quite a while! Mind you, if you were caught doing 80MPH over here, they'd lock you up and throw the key away. 60's the limit - not 61 or 62 - its 60!!!! (actually 100KMH)

Did a nice long drive this weekend to the parents (approx 150 miles each way) and it appears to have averaged around 40mpg+
Which was nice
