Hi, I have a 2003 Berlingo with the 1.9D engine.
I recently drove a 100mile journey fully loaded with five people, camping gear, food and drink and all cooking equiptment. I had luggage on the roof rack as well. I cruised at 70 - 80mph when I could. I calculated a 30mpg average consumption which I thought was pretty poor.
On the return journey (along the exact same route) We were one person less, no food or drink and all the luggage inside the car and the roof bars removed. I drove slower never exceeding 70mph and often doing less. This time I calculated 68mpg! which is obviously fantastic.
Is this possible or have I messed up my calculations somehow?
