34 mpg on me teedefive auto.
Variety of travel urban/extra urban e.t.c.
Treat that accellerator like an eggshell under your foot.
Cane it and read it and weep.
Fukkin incredibly comfortable for old farts though
Since Tuesday this week i have totalled 24 miles.
When i had meelendee i would have done at least 400 by now.
Change of circ's for the better.

I get 900km before the light comes on. TD5 Auto and with diesel prices here, it cost +/- R1,000 to fill up. Glad the company pays for fuel!!!!

Did my EGR soon after I bought the car. As Veggielandee says, if you cane it, she will drink the fuel. speed limit here is 120km/h on the highways, so I drive +/- 110km, soft acceleration and use cruise as much as possible, read the road in front and decelerate instead of using the brakes. Careful driving and you'd be surprised what you can get. Plus no speed fines!!
So how much to fill her up Dave??
I'm only asking these questions as I drive a V8i LPG and get around 250 out of the tanks at £45 per fill, just want to compare that with Diesel as diesel is obviously a bit more convenient being more readily available! I do find it a tad tedious having to research the availability of LPG stations before a long trip anywhere.

I get about the same as the others. That's £70.00+ a fill nowadays if you run it really low, I'd say.

Looks like I haven't been running it THAT low! In which case I ought to be getting 600+ on a tankful. (Unless my maths is really rubbish). I don't think I've ever let it go low enough for the light to come on.
I have a nut leftover

Recently had a weekend in Darlington, (visiting the outlaws), Travelled from M5 J2 to Darlo, did around 20 miles pottering around up there, then drove back the following day. only used 5/8ths of a tank, I filled it to the brim before we set off for Darlo', and sat at a steady 55 / 56 Mph.
I couldn't beleive how good on fuel they are if you're not in a rush.

I'm about 600 miles to a tank, then £107 - £110 to refill.
Around 33 mpg I guess.
Bit worse if the tank has lots of short journeys/faster driving, bit more if long runs at steady paces.
Not too bad I guess, but at 20,000 miles per annum, the fuel costs getting a bit too scarey. Combined with Gordon Brown's VED, I think I'll be down-sizing sometime soon...

Have just totaled up 6 mths of mileage and fuel and come back with 29.9 miles per gallon. This is a mix of towing, long journeys and round town (not much towing ) oh yes 52 plate TD 5, and i think thats fairly good. Have seen claims of 35 - 40 and must say do have my doubts, unless you switch off down every hill and push it up the other side.

I've done about 25 miles on the yellow and its been fine. In theory, light comes on when theres 2 gallons left (diesel) and 3 (petrol) so you should get about 50ish.
Although if I did more than about 15 in my old 300tdi with the light on and left the car overnight it would really struggle to restart next morning
