My T4's never ran better but this government are W******S!


I feel exactly the same mate but I think that 35MPG for a T4 is nigh on impossible even if a blind 80 year old lady drove it! Mine averages between 11 - 23 MPG
Goes like stink when its not giving me problems!!!

I never got mine much below 22mpg when thrashing the nuts off it. On a run back from southampton to London at between 90-95 all the way and loaded up with four of us and luggage it returned 32mpg which i was impressed with. Normal driving was around 25-26mpg for my runs though. I think you may need to get your car checked as thats not normal fuel returns for a T4 unless it lives on a track .

Hi cyberdriver, last week I drove to Aberdaron with a caravan on the back (113 miles) and returned 22.4mpg which I thought was appalling but then I was leaving it in 4th for the extra torque so cant complain, anyway we left the caravan there (thank fook) and on the way back I returned 39.4mpg driving at 50-60mph, couldnt believe it. while at aberdaron I gave my T4 sports car a jolly good thrashing and average 35 over 350 miles. only difference was my tyres were slightly over inflated by 2psi so perhaps check your tyres pressures because those figures are a little low to be honest.
