My year 2000 hdi with 150k is getting about 40 mpg with extremely easy driving. And I really do mean extremely easy - rarely even seeing 2000rpm (still on R plates so I don't really mind cruising at 45-50mph).
Firstly is this bad or is it normal enough? I'm pretty disappoint with those figures. Was expecting more like 50mpg+ with driving this easy.
I have a stage 1 map by Mr whippy and back box replaced with straight pipe. Also serviced 1,000 miles ago.
I'd really like higher MPG so have any of you got any tips?
(I hear that removing the engine increases MPG dramatically)
