What MPG do you get?

My buggered fuel gauge was lying the other day. i ran out of fuel about 100 yards from home... I worked it out as just about 30mpg (200tdi defender 110) which sounds about right to me. Wondering what you all got and whether thats a good figure?

Im assuming its the sender thats gone wrong is it very hard to fix?

Cheers
Jack

I know My brother regularly get 30+MPG but he does have a fuel saver as I have (yet to be fitted) which helps alot. Would be surprised if your getting 30Mpg with a std 200Tdi with a loaded 110 tho

i get 33.8 mpg. 90 TD5 with de egr )which i dont think does anything anyway apart from not fire **** into the engine) Thats an average over 7000 miles. I use a little app on my phone to keep a record (a little sad i know!!)

It actually didnt run out completely before i filled it up so it might have even done more than 30mpg.. And my dad says im an un-economical driver! What does he know

why worry or bother about it..its a defender not an astra diesal

I'd like to be able to turn off the extra fueling for the turbo but still not fitted the kit had it 3 years now. I don;t do enough miles to warrant checking but Last time we went out lets just say I was at the garage alot more than any others think my gearing needs sorting. Roll on new year I might even fit the trany box!

I'm getting between 28 and 34 from my 1993 200tdi 90. I'm quite happy with that to be honest

Jai,
Have you got the box you want now or are you still looking?

I'm not worrying im just intrigued to know whether its about average. I'm hoping to take the landy up to scotland some time also so itl be useful to know how much ill spend on fuel.

Ouch. :doh: Thats that trip put back a couple months then

vr6 multivan T4 3850 miles in 3 weeks =£1150

my stats over 8,254 miles = 1164L of diesel @ £1.193/L average, = £0.162/mile to run.
