I have just driven 450 miles in the last 2 days in a V50 2.0 D , 4 journeys back and forth from the midlands to south wales 50% motorway/dual carriageway and 50% A and B roads with a total of an hour in very slow moving traffic here and there . So i would say this was average use . the result ..54 mpg ... average speed 47 mph the average speed is important in getting good economy . Cruising at 50 mph in 6th gear when all fully warmed up was doing 84 mpg .. its the hills and slopes that kill the fuel consumption , down to mid 20's on the instantaneous read out . oh yes still 150 miles left to zero fuel :-)
