Fuel consumption shock!

[Sancho]

I'd describe the roads as varied.

Not least the big wet one?

Last weekend, Belfast to Bushwhacker's (South Wales), 300 mile = 22.85mpg.
I'd describe the roads as varied. The last big hill I climbed in the Brecon Beacons before dropping down to Vince's place must have used 1/8th tank of fuel!

If that's the hill i'm thinking of then i towed a 1t trailor with a surf on up there with my old 3.0 2nd gen.I got virtually to the top when i had to pull in as the temp and atf were very very hot.
Gotta say that was some big hill

i only get about 12 mpg LPG with the V8 surf!

32 " mud tires and 4" lift!

If mine had a v8 I wouldn't give a monkies what I got to the gallon.

There's something wrong with the engine then.

Driving around Somerset and Burnham on Sea with a trip to Minehead and back along country roads with no chance of getting up to 50mph, we averaged over 27mpg which I think is pretty good.
