1.6 TD on my camper is pretty good...can't give figures ...too anoracky!
but have found it pays to have a good clearout and not transport too many surplus bits...Why a crewcab...all that extra metal?

I've got a 1.7 na diesel and I can manage 348 miles from a full tank. I refilled it when it got to the white line just before the red.
