My 3.2 MV6 has a range of 700 miles...

400 on the petrol tank plus 300 on the LPG.  :P

Got half way across Germany (Bottrop) from Nottingham in our previous Mig, a 2.0CD auto on an x plate.....

Well happy with that.....

MV6 range about 450 miles tops on a run I would reckon....can get 36mpg out of it on a run....

I've just done 550 miles on about £45-50 worth of gas (a tank and a half) without hanging about :y :y

At a constant 70, I'd expect much better from 2.2dti :o

I was wondering that, but i've never gone far enough at an almost constant 70. I've returned 42mpg kicking around going to work etc, which was all A & B roads :) With the cruise enabled for a few miles she gives 50+ at 70 so i guess you could say from the south up to Scotland he should've had more :-/

Don't forget it's all up hill :D

42mpg (even at 70mph) ain't that impressive when compared to a surrender monkey of the same age...and it's even less impressive when compared to new cars.

my Dti does 45mpg at 80 with the air con off - seems to be more economical when just above the legal limit
