Over this 973km (605 mls) tank, the DPF has been regenerating 7 times, over a distance of 185km (115 mls) - or during 1 in every 5.26 km/mile !

During regeneration the fuel consumption often doubles on the OBC, so the overall FE suffers greatly.

Better check the oil level once more, tomorrow morning.
Gah!!!

This is not making me feel comfortable with getting a diesel..although I'm tempted as 50+mpg with out trying would be lovely.

You have the patience of a saint.
