driving under load questions

OK I have a '12 VW Passat TDi with scanguage showing LOD. I've googled a lot of things, vids, blogs, sites etc... all gassers, what is the best range of numbers for mileage in a diesel?

Thanks

Looks like you are new to ecodriving, in which case you are better off working on the basics:

Start a gas log so you know what MPG you are really getting. Your scorecard is the ratio of your MPG to EPA sticker MPG.
Learn and practice DWL. Focus on keeping LOD constant rather than at a specific value.
Learn and practice DWB.
Get good at these before trying advanced techniques such as P&G.


Definitions for the above terms are on this site.
