2010 Tec freetec low profile Transit 2.4 140bhp last 2 years average is 24.8 mpg. This is based on the trip meter and me writing it down after each journey long or short.

 

The mpg depends on how far we travel each day :?:
If we only travel from one aire to another just 5 miles down the road, the consumption is very high.
If we do a few hundred miles it is very low :roll:
I get through 70cl of red for every night stop, sometimes even more :wink:
So it can be 70 cl for 5 mile or 70cl for 300 mile :lol:
Of course, you have guessed by now, I am talking about wine per mile :lol:

 

The wide variety of possible miles per gallon reflects more upon the weight of drivers right foot than the make and efficiency of engines.
I note that so far nobody has commented on how much their mpg has improved since re-mapping, something that I still feel sceptical about...."More power and more MPG"
My own latest mpg since starting the thread is now 34 mpg according to the read-out on my dash, as I now try to keep to 57mph.... I am such a skinflint! :lol:

Hymer B544 (2007) Fiat 2.3 multijet, remapped - 27mpg measured using actual fills rather than relying on the trip computer. We averaged 24mpg before the remapping (and we have more torque now)

Yes, I agree, it's the only accurate way. I can easily get into the mid to high 30s mpg on a empty(ish) motorway run, but that is not an all round figure, as I have quoted in my previous posts.

 

Peugeot Boxer based Elddis, 2.2 TD, 37 mpg on a decent run.

 

I have my trip computer set to metric atm and when on over-run on long hills in 6th the 'instant' consumption is ' 2l/100km' yet when in the UK the same reading is '999mpg'

I'm doing about 150km a day, from Burgundy, via Biarritz to just N of Madrid. It's working out at 11lt/100km whatever that is in mpg (running at 4250kg + the wife...)2.3,150,EuroV

Hi,
Its all about weight, shape, terrain, wind direction, driving style,journey type/length etc etc

You will get all kinds of mpg claims some absolute BS others more or less what you can expect

The only true one is what you achieve on a day to day basis

better fuel with chip

My auto trial 130spec was doing 23mpg so fitted DTI engine chip mpg goes up to 29 mpg .The chip made it around 145 spec more power used 6 gear more cruised better .These were done trip to scotland .Then a long trip to france .Got back ordered a 150 spec van removed chip cant refit to new one warranty so if any body needs one i have one for sale .

 

Hymer Starline 640, 5 clylinder Merc 2.7 sprintshift.3800Kg.
We run at 3700Kg.
On a trip from Scotland to Croatia 3500 miles cruising at 60 mph on the bigger roads, I worked out the fuel consumption by dividing the mileage by the fuel used and we averaged 30.5 mph.

Evening all

It might be that ifyou are acheiving 28 to 30 you are doing OK.

There is a great App for the Ipad called "roadtrip HD" you just put in the mileage at every garage visit, tell it if you filled the tank or not, and it does all the sums for you...

I've used it since owning my van and figures are as follows...

Van bought 25th June 2011 with 10095 miles on the clock..
Now done 17791...

So that's a total of 7696 miles...

Average MPG to date is 26.53 mpg
Best 31.27 mpg
Worst 23.56 mpg

Van is an 05 swift kontiki.... Rated at 4000kg and running a 2.8 jtd engine....also chipped...

And yes since chipping, I'm seeing a small but consistent improvement in mpg.... 8)
