Mine is a petrol 2.3 T5 - on changing to Millers Oils XF Longlife 0/40W tappets started to tick a little, BUT around the town MPG has gone up from 17 to 24mpg and on a run of 50 miles or so at a steady 65/70 mph showing at around 33 to 37mpg

However a heavy right foot at any speed shows as between 8 to 10mpg irrespective of speed

Not unlike last year's autobahn readout of 8mpg at 145mph
