this is for the 2.5 TD owners.

what do you get on a run, if you keep it around the 70mph area??

42mpg according to the dashboard (possibly more if you're really gentle with the pedal).  2.5TD Auto.  Manual may get better.

...think about service intervals as well then.  Oil change every 5000 miles on the 2.5TD.

I'd say more like every 2/3k on the tractor...

At 70mph coming up the M40 the other day, the inst MPG reading on MID was between high forties and low sixties.  Day to day, I seem to get around 37MPG (as opposed to 24MPG on MV6). Both autos.

if i can keep down to 70 for the week,back and forwards to work every day clocks me 247 miles and brim to brim it takes 26 llitres
 to fill it back up, if im in late for work or in a rush to get home mode everyday, it takes 33 litres to brim it , best mileage to a tankful before i got scared was 663 the light had been on for 20 miles by then :o and didnt know how long it would go o for that was on a run down to cornwall and back, was well chuffed as it sat on the motorway on cruise at 77mph all day
mines a manual tho

I filled up the tractor friday night at Asda in Wheatley, and cruised up M40.  By time I'd got to Ardley, range was saying 644miles, and already done about 18miles by then....
