What's it returning, manual or auto & do you do lots of urban driving?

Sounds about right KW :y

I get high 20's in to low 30's round town, mostly cold driving and it varies with how heavy my right foot is  :P

On a run easily high 40's, I hit 50.4mpg Saturday heading to Lincoln.

Mines a manual 2.5td CDX saloon, what are you getting Gadget?

We did Scotland in July for our camping hols. Fully loaded and sitting on the cruise for 10 hours @ 75mph, same back with around about 100 miles of round town driving up there. 1200 miles give or take and averaged 44mpg.

:y  Bournemouth and back (190 miles of m/way @ 70-80mph and 140 miles of A and B roads) last week. Display showed 46.4mpg
I get around 42-43mpg on my weekly commute and general running around.

Not at the moment. :(  Still have an issue with strange juddering between 1500-2000rpm. It's not too bad with the lower bhp of the standard VX chip. I think it's a clutch or DMF issue.
If I had the full power chip fitted I'd say 55+ mpg. :y

Around here, proven 33mpg, and mine's chipped. Not bad, given our local terrain.
Towing our 22ft caravan, it's down to a disappointing 23mpg.

Markseth's has identical consumption, and his is an un-chipped manual saloon.
