I think Aljo's high MPG is because his car never has to climb any hills in Norfolk. I have to admit that my RRS has never got as good an MPG on this run as the FFRR TD6 could get - 35mpg was a regular sight on it's trip computer and on my spreadsheet.
My route climbs up to Shap summit and then uphill and down dale all the way to Sway - the trip north is usually worse as there is the uphill curve of the earth and battling against gravity all the way to Scotland Laughing Laughing 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Your car has an easy time Alto! I'm a bit disappointed at the long run economy, but in local driving at home I am averaging 27-29 mpg in mixed driving. Maybe I should return to being an old fart and return to driving at 65 in the inside lane and holding up the trucks and buses in the name of economy! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Its early days so I am still "running in" - but I commute every day into West London and join the usual "stop/start" on the M4/A4. Mine says an average of 32.5 MPG which is over 4 tankfuls so far. 2016 RRS 4.4 TDV8 Autobiography Dynamic in Montalcino Red and Stealth Kit

WHEN ITS HERE
I know that feeling - 27mpg when its here
The dealers have it more than I do. When it came back the last time it was registering 21mpg.
