Admin, if only I could shut up for a week or halfords had an autoglym sale neil would overtake Posts: 16,305 Group: Admin Member #147 Joined: January 20, 2006	I get around 7 miles per litre in my 3.0 wagon, my brothers 2.5d 190 gets about 8. Thats motorway miles though and carying weight so probably not much use.

Otherwise i could get it as low as 380miles if i had my foot in the floor! These are motorway miles i'm quoting btw. My 300TD only really manages 6-7 miles per litre atm with a faulty gearbox that only goes upto 3rd gear. We must bear in mind though that veggie oil gives lower mpg than diesel (apparantly)!
