Interesting. Engine up to temp before you set off?? Tyre pressure very high?
What tyres are you using?
Best I can get on a run is 38mpg on the trip (lieometer)

I think the only way mine would get anything like that figure is if it was on the back of a recovery wagon.

I've just looked up the figures for my old D3.

It covered 86k miles from new until I sold it, and overall achieved 25.5 MPG.

I recorded every drop of fuel used & almost always filled the tank to the brim, so that my spreadsheet indicated MPG accurately every time I refilled.

Worst 20.0 at Christmas time with snow & heater, heated steering wheel, heated screens etc & FBH running all the time.

Best 31 MPG and all motorway return trip with little traffic on a warm February day.

My D4 has done 24.0 MPG over the 35.8k miles since I bought it.

Got 58.87mpg (reality) from Skippy yesterday, though just short of my prev record of 58.96mpg. Yesterday was mostly heading N so should improve on the return as S down on the map. Whistle Whistle
