Just done some rough calculations on mpg as it felt I was getting through a fair bit of fuel.
Over a couple of half fills I got 700 miles out of 67l. Correct me if I'm wrong but that's 10.44 miles per litre which is 39mpg.
It's a 2l maxi kombi 140. Largely motorway driving but some city stuff. occasionally a heavy foot but not silly, never loaded with much weight.
Does that sound low? Anything I can do about it?

Re: MPG seems low
I calculate yours to be 47.5mpg which is actually pretty good. I would love to get that in my kombi maxi!

700 mile to a tank. Wow I would love that. Amazing well done. I’m getting about 450.

Re: MPG seems low
700 miles / 14.738 gallons = 47.5mpg

I think he perhaps used the US gal in his conversion by mistake
