I'm thinking of getting a crewy for a daily runner (92 Mile round trip) my question is whats the diesel engine like on fuel consumption?

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.

Well i'll tell ya what, when i get one i'll bring it over, you can don your billy 'n' johnies (bib and brace) and orange vests and we can drive round town pretending we're real workmen, we can even woof whistle the the town hotties (just for the whole workman experience of course)
