MPG???? 2.1 Automatic caravelle
I didn't expect my bus to be cheap to run.........but it only does about 20 MPG..unladen............Is this the norm?? and besides getting an LPG conversion, What else can I do to lower my fuel costs???

As has been said fill your profile in

Give it a good FULL service .. if you can't get it done properly

Save and have it converted to lpg ... about double the mpg

Autos drink more...mine is 1.9 Autosleeper manual, drinks petrol like I drink Gin. I was surprised at first, now I just watch the dial moving quickly towards empty

For what it's worth.....the last two euro trips I've been on with my 2.1 (manual MV) I've returned a tad over 26mpg (average over 2K plus both times)

this might make you feel a bit better- a friend of mine pulls a caravan (I know !!!!!) with modern 2ltr diesel 4x4 and gets about 20-30 mpg- makes me feel better even thoughit still hurts the wallet. Jack
