lf you stick to around 65mph it's quite easy to average 40mpg on the motorway, and the 50mph limit on A roads in my 90 Commercial is a contributing factor also! |

But only 31 miles, doing that over 300-400miles is probably a lot harder. So would maintaining an average speed of 39mph. |

For full clarity the engine was warm at the start of that journey as well. My trip average is 33.5mpg.

lt's still a good result for the type of vehicle that it is. My Transit Connect Van struggled to better high 30's MPG and that was a similar size but half the weight and only a 1.8tdci with 110bhp.

From my experience in a D250 110:
- 35 mpg do-able all day long without trying too hard - 40 mpg quite easy provided the run is over 10-20 miles and you are careful (eco mode not required) - 45 mpg very tricky, you need lots of luck so as not to stop for traffic lights and roundabouts. Helped by eco mode, no aircon, light load - 50 mpg impossible unless you are freewheeling down a mountain Can’t get over 43mpg but only done 1500 miles so early days. |

With a VERY light foot, 49mpg is possible. A road, 10C temperature, engine 3000 miles.
