Good afternoon all.
Earlier on this year we purchased a CI 625. It's a 2010 model with a 6 speed, 130bhp Ducato cab and engine. The sales man at the time proudly stated that we would comfortably expect to see 35 mpg on a run......yeah right I thought.
We have covered around 3000 miles over the summer / autumn period, and the trip computer shous our fuel consumption at just over 23mpg, although manual calculations show the actual figure at only 19mpg. We obviously didn't buy the van for it's green credentials or cheap running costs but I consider 19mpg to be very low. The van is never loaded anywhere close to it's capacity, the tyres are correctly inflated and all speeds are kept to the legal limits as conditions demand. Is this high consumption par for the course?
Also, is there any way of getting rid / reducing fixed panel rattles?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Tim
