Hello all,

The better halfs 3.0 Elite does around 19mpg around the valleys, although I have had it into the low thirties on a run and an instantaneous consumption of 7.5mpg whilst tugging the caravan up from Neath to Merthyr (I wasn't hanging about)

Regards

Steve

Ah yes Steve ........
Glynneath Bank and the climb from Hirwaun up to the Baverstocks - now there's a real test mate!

It pulled the caravan (around 1400kg) at 60mph all the way up. Temp stayed around 97-98 which considering was not bad at all.

I'd say about the same as mine, although I've not done a brim the tank thingy yet.
My driving of the TD estate involves towing a 1460kg caravan when I do take to the road and that achieved last time out around 26 mpg on average on a full tank.
That's 400 miles from a full tank (70 litres I think?) and 190 of those miles were towing, so not bad.

That's good going for towing figures.........I've got my eye on an X reg 2.5TD saloon to tow my van

I get around 32 from my chipped mig, but, I do have a fairly heavy foot.  Also mostly on Fenland driving with a usual distance of 12 - 20 miles...

Yep was better than that when I towed a 1200kg van, about 28mpg. Now it's chipped was expecting better but not complaining as the extra power is great anyway.
