I'll start with the bad, it doesn't like short trips when it doesn't get chance to warm up. The best I can get is 31mpg on the school run, a 2 mile trip with no traffic. The other bad situation is fast motorway, mid 30's seems to be about right.

Now the good. Best after a slow A road trip was 51mpg at 41mph average and 47mpg for the return at 47mph. There was towns and traffic but I am happy considering it is a 3.0l 4x4. Overall I am averaging 40 but it drops when I play!!!!
15k miles and a average mpg of 34.9

HOW can a 30d murder my mpg? Frown!
