Expect these figures to drop by about 2-3 mpg as the weather gets colder.

How does that work Ady >

Cold weather means more electrics being used on your motor, heated seats, heated windows and mirrors, heater turned up, fuel burner heater working on start up below -5, long dark nights, using lights more, etc etc. All uses more power so uses more diesel to power such items.

Cheers for the info Ady.

Lets just see how many TDV8's on here require a new alternator as soon as the temperature drops colder.

MINE IS DOING 22-24 ROUND TOWN BUT IT HAS BEEN SORTED BY DYNOCHIP AND THAT IS TAKING THE MPG OFF THE TRIP COMPUTER NOT MANUALLY WORKED OUT.

I hope that you realise all your / our children will be talking polar bears per litre rather than miles per gallon.

I'd take the S/C. And plant a tree tomorrow (or give a home to a Tesco basil plant) L405 P400e Autobiography (MY2020)... Silicon Silver / Espresso
RRS TDV6 HSE Lux (MY2011)... Nara Bronze / Arabica - now gone!

Most have seen from mine was 31 mpg over 250 miles but normal driving i usually average 24-25 over a full tankfull. Mine has superchips bluefin remap but this has made little or no difference to the mpg (But a lot to the grin factor )

I get about 17/18 around town and up to 24/25 at a steady M way pace.

Given your annual mileage I'd go SC

+1 - on that annual mileage I'd definitely go S/C  Carl
