Hi all,
Just a quick question for anyone who runs a 2.5TD Estate.
What sort of MPG do you get?

If it's the way you drive it won't be anything like that Stuart, more like 10 - 15.

Yep, just wanted a rough idea though.
Seems I'm getting around 35mpg ATM, but I have been up & down motorway going to work,
& my speed tends to creep up without me knowing Had it once or twice well over 100 without realizing

One of the few things that my old 306 was good for was it's economy.
Regardless of how it was driven, it would still do around 50mpg.
Although, that said I was losing the will to live driving 300 miles a week in it

 Think I'd lose the will to live if I had to travel 300 miles a week to work.
