Default A personal record on MPG
27.2 mpg in my D2 S8 this evening . Mostly @ 70 on the motorway from Manchester to Walsall, but still a lot above my overall average on 19.2

A check on the fuel consumption for my return journey from Monifieth revealed 22mpg, which is quite pleasing as I was stuck in roadworks just north of the Forth Road Bridge for a considerable time, or I'd imagine it could have been slightly better. I used the cruise control quite a bit on the return journey so that may have helped also.

I'm back off on my travels next weekend to Blantyre and Arran so will continue to check the fuel consumption. We could take the wife's oil burner but it's not as comfortable, effortless and I can't fit golf clubs in it, which is essential of course Comfort over economy every time for me

'bout right - which takes a lot of self control normally, but I was quite chilled on that trip, so it wasn't that hard.

After 2 days of 3 mile rush hour commutes from Walsall to West Brom, the DIS average dropped to 23mpg , but is now back up to 24.5, following the drive to the New Forest via Bristol and Lyme Regis. Doubt I'll get it back to 27 though…, but it's an interesting little experiment.

Give me a wave when you hit sunny Blantyre (where in this fine town are you visiting?)

Should I mention the 38mpg I got on the M8 home from Livingston in the rush hour traffic tonight?

I'll be heading up on Sunday afternoon and staying on Elie Road then setting off for Arran on the Monday morning. We're staying at the Auchrannie Hotel in Broddick while we're over there, been many times now and we love it.

I've already got my currency sorted so once we pack on Sunday we're good to go.

I'll be looking at nearer half that MPG for the round trip, but hey ho, wafting has it's price I suppose
