Can i point out that everyone who poo-poo's HDi mpg has never actually owned one, or, if they have, clearly didn't know how to drive it. People who repeat that it's all down to the gearbox and it's barely better than a dt don't know what they're talking about. The best i achieved was 72mpg from a tank on daily driving (ie not a motorway run), that was properly going for the economy though tbf lol. Still, pretty impressive what you can do with them if driven carefully and a bit of knowledge about where the fuelling gaps in the map are. I could get over 60mpg without trying that hard, so i'm sure anyone else can too if they work out how to drive it for that effect, Jonny's got the gist of it. ^^^
