I was a bit worried as the new van having a real automatic gearbox might have just worked out a bit too thirsty. I filled it up to the top and we set off for Ireland filled up over there several time and just before coming back on the Ferry. I have today just filled it to the same point and the total consumption divide by the actual mileage worked out to 25.42 miles to the gallon or as I saw it one inch in metric.
This was a good spread of use from Motorways up and down to Heysham city driving in Dublin and others Irish motorways A roads, smaller rural roads and some really small steep bits around the Wild Atlantic Way. So it got it all and that is the result but I added 9 litres of Adblue as well.
I am reasonable happy with that as I thought the gearbox might drop it to low twentyish, but because it has 7 gears in it there is virtually no torquing and waste of power, it just changes up or down as needed, and it is so easy to drive, unlike my old Transit which used to knacker my knee in stop start traffic.
Happyish bunny, but It might improve with a few more miles on it as it has now only got 2450 miles on it. One more thing is there is absolutely NO SOOT AT ALL inside the exhaust pipe, it is completely clean, My 2006 Tranny would have had a load of loose soot up the exhaust, so these new technologies do work
