As has been said fill your profile in :wink:
Give it a good FULL service .. if you can't get it done properly :D
Save and have it converted to lpg ... about double the mpg
Recognise the equation that exists between the weight of your right foot to the weight of your wallet ... the heavier the former the lighter the latter.

Welcome to the club :ok

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
