I've been getting
24.7mpg
26.7mpg
And over the last 300miles; 28.2mpg
Can 30mpg be near at hand.
Is this feasible from a 110Td5?
(used to see an average of 30-32mpg from the 110Tdi)

Sounds about right for a Td5 to me, mine generally does around 27mpg, driving it fairly steadily and with no offroading involved, mindyou I never managed more than 27-28mpg from mi' old 300 Tdi Disco.

bit nippy
be prepared to leave saxo VTs's behind in a staright line dash & pull away from most hot hatches without a problem,although when you drive it like that the MPG goes down to about 22 ish

I want an overdrive
--- Quote from: "littlepow" ---This is on motorway, back roads and the short trip to work. Have all terrains fitted and no roof rack.

Ditto, BFG A/T's & no roof-rack
unknownmanxman:
The td5 is meant to meet the new emisions laws, but it burns more fuel to do it, as it injects a bit of diesel just before the piston reaches top dead centre t oget things all nice and warm before the main burn (when it injects again)
Whereas your tdi motor will only inject once!
