Anybody know what sort of average fuel consumption I should get out of my van? Its a 1.9 petrol with pop top.

I have just got new speedo so I know how many miles I'm doing now! :lol:

I measured my old 1.9 at 23-25mpg, but the new velle, quite lightweight, will do 28mpg.

hahahaha, how ironic really, if you think your bus is slow, dont even think about trying to keep up with Cate..... i'm not known for hanging about, but i struggle to keep up with her.......

i get between 19-22 out of my leisuredrive camper, always fully laden.
but as its on lpg its equiv of 50-55 mpg running costs

It was slow when I drove it, but it was poorly then, :(

Burger! thought I'd managed to change that before the puter crashed, obviously not! :lol:
28 is not the usual! 8)
