Hi Guys

Be interested to know what MPG your getting from your diesel E70s.
The used 3.0d I picked up last week is only getting 18-20 round town.
A mates E53 4.4 doesnt seem to do any worse than mine.

Thanks, I didnt see the other thread in the E53 section.
Interesting point about checking that the mpg isnt in US setting.

Very dependent on air temperature. Significantly more thirsty when it's below about -5 C. Currently hovering between -3 and zero and with a gentle right foot I'm getting about 30mpg imperial on the OBC. Tends to be a bit better in the warmer temperatures (different diesel composition?...)
