The D5 is quite quite amazingly economical (apart from when in the XC90) Mates 54 plate S60 chipped (195bhp and 400ft/lbs ) is averaging 46.1mpg, driven mainly fast A roads and occasional motorways.

Sounds about right - must admit to be thinking about the dark side for my next one - chipped diseasels are definitely challenging petrol motors these days. Still can't keep up with me though.

Okay Tim, you drive a D5 and I'll drive your car... see if you can keep up? :) SignatureThe DervMan www.dervman.com > Solo in my 300TDI i'm getting about ~28mpg doing mainly motorway/fast a > roads. In my 300TDi Defender with Fearns intercooler I seem to be getting MPG between 27-38! It's got a ragtop so lighter than the metal top, and it's a pickup so no trim or soundproofing. I've got the 38MPG figures marked down as "suspect" because it seems too high to me, but it's all done on the same spreadsheet as other cars I have and it's working out fine for them. I use the same methods to calculate mileage but 38MPG out of a 300TDi Defender does seem OTT... SignatureFor every expert, there is an equal but opposite expert >>>Come on then - does anyone have any fuel consumption figures for the >>>following, solo and towing? [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >> >> constantly, whether towing or not <snip> > How does a Tdi or Td5 Dicovery do on journeys like these? I've kept records of all my fuel for a year now with my 200tdi Auto Rangey, and it's averaged just over 27.5mpg overall. Over half of that has been towing a car transporter trailer, weighing anything from 650kg (tare) to 2600kg (Bentley S1), and almost all the solo stuff has been pootling around town, though I've just completed two longish solo motorway trips at 60-70mph and got between 33 and 34mpg on them both. I also got so bored on these trips that I calibrated my speedo and odometer against the marker posts - the speedo was 2mph fast at 60, but the odometer was within 1%. The other posts have confirmed how relatively poor the JapCraps' consumption is, though the annual cost difference disappears into the noise of total running cost once you include depreciation and repair/service costs.
