MPG
In town I seem to be making about 200/250 mpg with my 2003 90 td5 driving normally... is that what I should expect?

Many thanks

Alex

I'm guessing you mean 20-25mpg, in which case that's pretty normal for around town. Darren

Or if you mean 200~250mi on a tank then that's pretty low... Solved the bowel problem, working on the consonants...

Well 200/250 miles on a full tank which is is what... 50 litres (refilled at the bottom of the reserve) or 11 gallons, gives me 20/25 miles per gallon... Is that reasonable?

Once again, I missed the '90' info, apologies Wink

Seems about normal round town, for the standard reasons you'd expect more when avoiding lights/traffic ... Solved the bowel problem, working on the consonants...

250 miles on 50 litres is just under 23 mpg. so you're in the right area for town driving. Darren

I get ~25mpg out of my 110 no matter where I drive it!

Has a roof rack and I don't tend to hang around.

I get about 23mpg around town.
In fact on a long run the best I've got is around 28mpg.
So many factors can affect mpg generally, including driving style, geography, and specification, but your figures seem about right to me Thumbs Up

I get 27-28 mpg in town driving.

2005 110 TD5 CSW.

I drive neither fast nor slow.

I change up at between 1500 and 2,000 rpm which is fine for keeping up with traffic. Going up hill needs more RPM when changing up. Say 2500.

Under 25mpg is not great from a 90 which should manage a couple of MPG more (than a 110) Maybe check the MAF unit and other sensors.
