Very chuffed!


Well done...you must have a light foot. I get 48mpg at 80ish on the motorway, and 31-33 when towing (1300kg)

Mind you these are the displayed figures...must check it for real one day.

I am a pretty new caravanner, so I do take it very easy, and the trips that |I have done have been largely motorway miles. Once confidence rises, mpg will drop...sadly.
