The other day I collected together the fuel receipts for our trip and added up the total fuel used over the whole period.

I used 400.40 litres of diesel tank to tank, home to home and included the fuel required to fill the tank after arriving home as I started with a full tank.

I averaged 29.7 MPG over the 2,640 mile trip and I guess about 2,400 miles were towing the caravan.

I thought the MPG would have been a bit better but I didn't spare the horses on the French auto-routes while towing ( often at 70 MPH ) and we were heavily loaded with some mountainous areas covered.

Can't say I'm really disappointed with that fuel consumption though.
