Filled up today - and what an exciting fill up it was.
I have driven 469 miles since the last fill, and consumed 30.91L of fuel - meaning I have already beat the official UK combined figure of 67.3MPG!!!.
The figures come out as:
4.1 L/100 km
57.41 mpg (US)
68.97 mpg (Imp)
This is a huge improvement from my first full tank where I got 55.7 UK MPG - some of it is down to the fact that a lot more of these miles were motorway, but I also reduced my cruising speed from 70-75 to 60-65 halfway through this tank (next tank should be all at reduced speed
).
I changed the oil to a good fully synthetic and upped the tire pressures in the last 20 miles of this tank - so I expect those benefits will show another bump next time.
My 90 day average is now so close to the top 10 diesels, and I should be well in once that relatively poor first tank drops out.
re. the camber on the rear, there definitely is some... its still hard to tell how much of the tire is actually 'used' though. Do you think I should drop some out of the rears based on these pics:
