1200 mile run up to Inverness & back and averaged 44mpg in the tractor with a car full of camping equipment.

The Elite barge is averaging 12mpg at the moment although it only gets used twice a week to keep it charged and I'm forever upsetting the TC into coming in ;D

I travel 3.5 miles to work and 3.5 miles home with occasional detour of 3-4 miles home, average 21/22 mpg; mines a manual 2.2 petrol. On a run does well, mid/high 30's :y

24.8mpg over last 4 months...i do 400 miles motorway at approx 90mph 50 miles commute in london but not rush hour,and between 80-150 miles rural at home every week..
i think this is good,and is probably down to the fact that dlk rebuilt it as good as new
