How many miles.......

Mileage will improve as you get a few thousand miles on it. Remember, it's not going to be fully run in until you get 60,000 or so on it. Does it use any oil at all? They do have a tendency to lose some oil past the turbo seal if you don't drive it hard enough, so don't baby it too much or any fuel savings will be eaten up with expensive (506.01) oil topping up.

The last on I had did better with 28,000 on the clock than this one does at the moment with 8,000.

Good. someone close to my average mileage then!

How true is it that you consume 30% more fuel the instant you go over 70mph?

Or is this crap to make you think about speeding on the motorways?!

I've added about 10% of my MPG by dropping 10mph off my average motorway crusing speed. sekret.gif
