After 6 years with a 2004 auto td5 usually returns around 25 mpg.I check after every fill up .Latest fill up took 32.4 liters = 7.13 gallons.Miles done 175 = 24.54 mpg.
 
Is ti auto or manual,

I get 27 ish a mix of driving with no long runs and average 30.5 over a longer commute on mways in a manual.

Cheers

think that’s really good mpg u get , my D3 does around 22mpg town and 29- 30 mpg long run , winter time though mine will drop to around 16-18 mpg around town, with the fbh kicked in

Will probably only do about 18mpg pulling a caravan too I'd guess.;)
 
Only Trouble is I don’t have a caravan so might be hard to prove the theory u see, ;):D

Haven’t thought this through have i , lol
You should consider getting yourself a good woman who already owns a caravan... just for the purposes of testing this theory, obviously!

Might wanna check your spelling of WOMAN!! (I assume you didn't mean the plural!) :mad:
 
Following a visit from Mike my manual D2 Td5 went from averaging 27.8 to 30.5mpg...and the driving satisfaction went up considerably more than that. Just the reduced need to dance up and down the gears makes it worthwhile so the extra mpg is pure icing.
