On an average tank I get anywhere between 550 and 600 miles.
On a run (constant 60/70mph like) I can get around 650/just over till the light comes on.
It'll be nice if i can get the same sort of figures from mine for Billing ........... might not be quite so good though due to lift kit, mud terrains and tubular bumper/steering guard etc (less aerodiwotsit)

I go along with TheMunster's figures. I do a number of trips a year down to England from the North of Scotland, generally a 1200-1300 mile round trip and on my last trip the best return I got was 36.28 to the gallon. Pretty damned good I'd say for a car of it's size. However I will say I am a 55-60mph man myself, never in a hurry if you get my drift.
Yep, nigh on 600 for me as well. De cat pipe egr'd and pumps tweaked. All tyre pressure at 38 and I do a fair bit of round town as well.
My 300 tdi is on average 200 miles better per tank full than my td5 auto thing. Its much nicer but than the 300 but you don't half pay for it!
Apparently if you're egr is gone the emissions are better so thats what let you take out the Cat (actually particulate filter). Mine has been through two mot's in different garages since its been done and passed both on emissions - its the body rot you got to watch for! My pumps been tweaked as well and I have never had to wind it back to get a pass either. The beauty of these mods is i never have to rev the old girl hard even when towing 3.5 ton! 2500rpm and she pulls like a train. This means when you're taking it steady you cruise around town in fourth on a whiff of throttle. Add this to 38 psi tyre pressure and reading the road ahead you will get 600 miles no problem. if you're not then there may be a reason why not, like sticking brakes or blocked air filter.
I run all terrain bfgs and do 70 on the mway and it always returns good mpg at 14 years old and 200k. I also run it mainly on biodiesel which help on reducing emissions even further.
Bio should improve your mpg anyway - higher cetane rating.I also run it mainly on biodiesel which help on reducing emissions even further.
