Yup, I'm just interested, me and the missus are working out worst case scenario mpg's for a small trip
 Any ideas y'all?

worst mpg would be zero mpg .... for example if you had a serious fuel leak

if you are talking about your motor you should get 27 to 30 on a run, Rick

Get about 24-25 around the doors in the T2 but can get 32 on a nice run
Best MPG i've had was 42 on a long run in my old astra 2.2 & I was fully loaded doing 70-80 so could have got a bit more I think if i'd have driven slower & didn't have all the camping gear in which dropped the suspension by 2"  The worst i've had was from my 4L disco2 V8 a lovely 4mpg when in sport mode & giving it loads of stickOh only ever owned 2 diesels in my life & both have been Terrano's |

I know my vehicle is patrol but worst has been 17mpg towing tintent but that is with a fixed solid viscous unit. Best was 26mpg towing a heavier tintent with working viscous unit. I was shocked at the difference that a perfect working cooling system can make

Sweet thanks all, and zippy I'm running on pure veggie (well with a splash of whatever I can get my hands on)
Yeah it was just terrano mpg I was after, we've got 125 miles to cover and debating how many 20l barrels to get I don't tend to hang about on the motorway either

Zero Mpg if he starts his journey and leaves it in neutral for a day and a half, before realising he hasn't gone anywhere... Or spend several hours on the M25 carpark.. For best MPG, buy a Land Rover, join the AA or RAC and get towed home every trip as always...  So you can get between 0 mpg and infinity mpg depending on how you drive it, and where. Driving it all day in 1st can cause very poor mpg
