MPG anomolies.

I don't think the 1.9D can achieve 68mpg. The quoted best is much less than this.

How are you calculating it?

[Handmade Matt]

The quoted best is always combined driving styles.
This figure I achieved was on a run in good conditions.

I fill up full at a station and note the miles on the clock.
I drive where I'm going and then fill up full again and note the miles on the clock and how many litres I can fit in.
I subtract the first mileage figure from the second, giving me the exact distance between fills. I then divide this by the number of litres to give me miles per litre and finally multiply by 4.5 to give me miles per gallon.

Unless human error comes into it this method is full proof and very accurate.

I really cannot forsee a dw8 doing 60+mpg. If they can then i must be REALLY heavy on the throttle in mine! :eek:
