The pearl is telling porkies. It doesn't sound like a diesel! At least mine doesn't. Sometimes a little coarse but no-where near diesel noisy!

hmmm
I'd say with a mix of stop start rush hour traffic and clear roads during the week... about 28 to 34 mpg.

I am having bit of miss fire at the minute (probably duff injector) and i am getting about 53/54mpg (shell v-power) but thats 55 mile each way mostly dual carriage way commute.
Hope getting the miss fir sorted will bring it a couple of mpg.
