Can vouch for the 07 tranny on board computer/gauge. Manually worked out mpg after a 350 mile round trip and it was close enough for me. Smile

I get about the same as you, 22 -24 mpg at 60 mph, much less if traveling at 70. I've been hoping it will improve as the engine gets a few more thousand miles on it (currently just over 3000).
I would agree with jackc, the final drive, or at least 6th gear, seems very low and it feels like the engine would easily pull a higher gear.

Have you had your PAS safety recall notice yet?

What's the chances of getting the 6th gear altered to make it rev lower
or is this a bad idea?

I've done some of the other suggestions already - tyre pressures and a Ford dealer in Tonbridge have already made some changes to the mapping during a re-call but without much change to the mpg.

Sorry should have added that the first recall was for a stearing knuckle being 180 degress out - the PAS is being done in a few days - I've been told by the dealer that if it hasn't leaked already it probably won't and the reacll is a precaution.

As a comparisom we have a simular size M/H but ours is a 2.2 130Bhp and we get 25ish MPG at 70 MPH, if we keep to 60 MPH it will do close to 30 MPG and if we keep on slower roads about 50 MPH can see the fuel comp showing 32MPG. I have also found the comp to be within 0.3 MPG.

Ours is only a 5 speed and it is doing 2200 RPM at 60 MPH. I think the 2.4 is close to 3000 RPM at the same speed. This is probally one cause of the poor MPG.
