We can do North Derbyshire (near Matlock) to West Ayton (Scarbrough, via the coastal road) on about half a tank of petrol, keeping speeds sensible on the Motorway, and traveling at quieter times to try and avoid any hold-ups.

Hi Julie
34mpg pulling a van is excellent!
I was expecting high twenties at the best.
Is 34mpg using the onboard computer, or your own calculation.
I have found that with my own calculations the onboard computer shows approx 4mpg too high, but that would still give very good mpg of 30.
Had a look at a 2006 Bailey Ranger 460/2 at a local dealer yesterday, a very nice van in mint condition but well overpriced!
I was Surprised to see there was no 12 volt stereo fitted.

Hi Tim, thats onboard computer figures set from leaving home and checked on arrival on site, next month im going to be doing the same thing on a longer run down to Norfolk which is mostly A class roads and a few duelled sections of the A1, its about 179 miles from home to destination, and last time we did it, including some crawling through roadworks, we got home having used about a full tank of petrol, but not enough for the low fuel warning lights to come on, and the caravan was fully loaded from a Boating event we had been to, extra chairs, cooking gear, and two awnings, the Kampa 390, and the 260, so we must have been up to the max weight there, but the Civic still managed well.

Congratulations on buying your new to you caravan, I hope you have great fun with her, and we will certainly look out for you around the campsites, and come and say hello!
Well we did the long Norfolk tow down last weekend and made it the entire way on two thirds of a tank of petrol, even better than we had hoped for, and with a recent service on both car and caravan, which involved fitting new tyres to both, we certainly have no complaints regards fuel consumption with our outfit, and the way its performing now.
it would be good to compare notes with your Honda once you are up and running and hopefully it will be very similar.
good luck,
Julia
