what mpg do you get??

My 98 2.1d combined with my lead-lined right foot seems to be giving me about 38mpg.
I've not worked out my mpg since I got the car until now, and have no idea what I should be getting.
Any thoughts?

Sounds about right - the combined consumption figure for a 2.1 is about 39 and with both my recent diesels I have got roughly the combined figure.
I do about 40/50 miles around town a week & 300 main road / motorway commuting and don't have a reputation for dawdling
My 2.2 has averaged 43.5 mpg for the last 3500 miles, (exactly the combined government figure).

sounds good
Having moved to this in February from a 2.5 5-series BMW that did about 22mpg for me, I feel a bit thrown off course.

Realistically, I'm looking at about 47.5mpg with my HDi 90 each on a full tank. Slightly disappointing, but i do a lot of city driving. I know the 110 is much more economical and powerful. I wish i had one.........

full tank on a mapped HDI 90 gets me 50 mpg +/- 1mpg
However if i just top up with £20 when the light comes on i can get over 250miles which is over 55mpg

The average tankful on my 110 hdi gives me between 52 - 55 mpg.
Plenty happy with that.

I'm up to about 25mpg now I've got the new house and less start-stop traffic on the way to work
It's nice now I'm getting to the petrol station with over 350 miles on the trip counter compared to the 250 before

How big is the tank on the coop?
I usually get 44.8mpg indicated between each fills - manage 740 miles on just over 70L tank (I once filled it with 78L
from very very empty).

Ouch...! I'd be filling this up twice a week with the amount of driving I do!

To be fair, I do tend to stretch its legs a bit on the daily commute
I can still get 45-50mpg on the motorway at 60mph

Do you lot use normal gallons (i.e. 4.546L) as opposed to Americanised ones (3.76L)?
