I also wondered about full synthetic oil but when I saw the price you have to do a large mileage to even start to recover the extra outlay.

I Have begged, teams roles Ford Transit 4.2 = 26mpg
Fiat Ducato Swift Sundance 590 2.3 23 mpg (old shape)
"" " " 630 8.2 22 mpg
"" " Kontiki 669 3.0 22.5 mpg (x250 on trip to Spain)
Fiat Swift Sundance 630L 2008 2.3 27 mpg (I Have Had It now chipped so Will Have To See What I get next week going to / from York / Scarborough
All were bought new van and were on soldier at approx one year old & the mpg usually never changed despite averaging 10- 12000mls per year.
There was a gap of a year due to the terrible purchase of a Autotrail Arapaho bag of nails that we bought.so we went abroad several time flying to various points.
Now back to our old favourite the sundance and with it's new chip we will just see what improvements to the mpg will be.
Morning all, some sense but a lot of rubbish, fuel is dear we all know that when we buy the motorhome, but as in one case to say you get over 37 mpg from an "A" class Hymer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I am on my third Hymer all with Sprintshift which I love the latest one is a 650 "S" class 4.6 ton which returns a consistent 20.5 when towing our Matis or 22ish on its own. I do agree its mostly down to speed but not all as a retired Class 1 HGV I know that timing is the most important, by that I mean trying to drive not to stop where you can, not to break if your just slowing down because its the getting up to speed that uses the fuel. But I also agree if your going to worry about fuel dont buy a motorhome. Finally the only way to check consumption is to fill to the brim complete journey or part of, fill to the brim and divide gallons into miles. In that way you get the correct MPG. Barrie
