That has been driving for economy. Ive always been able to get good mpg out of cars by driving carefully, I try and keep her below 2000rpm at all times

2002 Td5 110 with 111000 on the clock - stage 3 remap + overdrive.
Best - 33mpg on 2000 mile round trip to the Alps at a steady 60 - 65 mph.
Worst - towing 3.5 t trailer on a regular basis around 24 mpg - not worked it out properly but I can loose 100 miles out of a tank if I'm towing a lot per tank.
Remap has made towing a lot better mind!!

1986 ex MOD 110 N/A motor last time worked it out was just over 29mpg average.
Reckon this drops on lots of hill runs though, but not bad on run at 50-55 mph

my 300tdi disco on a run at 50 55mph and not mountainous gets 34 -35 mpg around home where i enjoy the mountain roads and the near straight through exhaust and pump tweaks i get around 20- 28 depending on how im being with the loud pedal and what roads im on and in the forest i get about 15 litres of diesel for a days playing miles vary depending on terrain but i don't care because i pay about 60p a litre of derv whoo
