HDI more MPG

[Toms306]

Wow, I might actually consider a HDI then. I usually stick with XUD for veg but if a HDI can manage 45mpg round town that would offset the higher cost of fuel a bit. I only get 34mpg in the XUD...

Damn that's bad, I've never had an XUD so can't compare directly but I used to average more that in the 1.8! I know you do a lot more town than me but I'd expect at least 40mpg from the same in the HDi, I moved a whole cottage full of stuff for my Nan in the estate earlier this year which was heavy laden and just short 5 mile trips, mostly town and still averaged 45mpg (which I was gutted about as had been getting 50mpg before that lol).

I'm up and down the M1 a lot (and not willy waving) but it's all too easy to sit at 85 for a couple of hours at a time, this is bad for my MPG
doing the same journeys at 70 I'd expect moped levels of MPG given I've done the nice economy mods (stage1, no cat, no backbox, serviced with high psi tyres)

My long term average is only 55, would love to see it at 65 and should really if idiots wern't always getting in the way...

This is the single worst thing for MPG...other people!

Would be much nicer if there wasn't anyone else about haha.
