Chuffed with MPG
Drove to Devon today following my parents for a long weekend break, was chuffed with the mpg, after 200 miles, my Hilux invincible only got 34 on a run, mind you my I never went over 85 mph, on the way here, motorway, A roads and B roads,

Probably in reality ~30.5mpg, peeps with D4s seem to have the trip comp over reading by 15%.

My D3 is strange. The tyres were a little low at around 29psi. I pumped the front up to 33 and 36 in the rear as per the door shut sticker and the mpg goes down!

I envy you
I get ~ 26-27 ave* on my 14MY with 14k on the clock.
* that's actual, as has been said the dashboard display seems to be 10-15% optimistic.
