well, since i've somehow managed to do 100 miles since yesterday, i filled up again, and did an economy check....

with a lot of urban work, a combined figure of 18.75 MPG was achived.

so my estimate is on a run, about 23 - 24 mpg is likely..

pretty much exactly what i expected, hows this compaire with your figures art and martyn?

there is definatley a big power difference between TBi and vortec!! the vortec in martyns is noticably quicker, but has about 60 extra ponies to play with.

i think 24 ish on a run is about right,
maybe a little more but not the way i drive it

my usual work run is 80% dual garagway, so i'm expecting a couple of MPG better yet. seem to be popping to tesco a lot today!

Filled up for the forth time last night , £74 ouch !!!
The GMC has been averaging about 22-24 mpg , last night we had done 382.1 miles this week at 21.07 mpg

It's been in a lot of traffic this week though and quite a few short runs !
