Hallo Every One. Can any one help me with MPG? In two weeks I'm going to pick up my brand new Iveco Daily XLWB 35S15 2.3L At the dealer they say that I can do around 25 mpg. I will be running about 80% on the motorways. What do you think? Cheers Roman. |

Sounds in the right ballpark, I get about 25mpg from my mwb and its nearly fully loaded. need a light right foot though, I've had mine as low as 18 with a heavy trailer! |

Hi Roman You say you will be doing 80% on the Motorway ! so 80% of what ? When I had my 3.0lt Auto I got 30mpg on average and 35mpg (ish) taking it easy on the Motorway Radiotwo |

Hi - your post on MPG prompted me to put up my experience using BP Ultimate diesel. My van is the 35S12 LWB on an 07 plate, and my driving is mainly about town with a light load. Every now and then I go on slow, very hilly single track roads, light on the way up and full 3.5 tonnes on the way down. MPG before using BP Ultimate: averaging 28.7 MPG over six months, brim-to-brim. MPG before using BP Ultimate, after removing roof rack and fitting cruise control: averaging 30.3MPG over 4 months, brim-to-brim. Cost for diesel: 21p/mile. MPG using BP Ultimate: averaging 32.5 MPG over 1 month. Cost for diesel: 20p/mile. Since that Ultimate-only month I've been using supermarket diesel and Ultimate in no particular pattern, and the MPG has stayed around the 31/32 mark, with Ultimate still delivering better MPG. Conclusion: it's worth running on Ultimate for a month to clean out the injectors etc, then the benefit continues at least 3 months beyond that. Next I'll try 1 month Ultimate, 5 months supermarket, see if I can get the best of both worlds! Incidentally, since Ludwig ( - van - Beethoven - get it?) is basically a great big box on wheels, I find about town consumption is better than dual carriageway, and a headwind makes a huge difference to the MPG. Also, don't trust the wee meter on the dash - mine is usually optimistic by about 2 MPG to what I am actually getting. Anyone else tried Ultimate? Any more tips to squeeze more MPG? I dream of getting up to 35 MPG! Should probably get out more...

The cleaner emissions from things like the Egr valve and other stuff are partly the reason for higher fuel consumption. |

The trip on mine is normally showing just over 28mpg with a best on a long run and empty van at 32mpg, but my speedo is so far out compared to GPS that my guess is that it's really about 25mpg. |

Probably only 1-2 MPG - that's the error on mine, and I log consumption after every fill. |
