WOW towed our van to Aeron coast and due to the never ending hills i got a shocking 17mpg. Ithink it was the fact that the hills were not just short and steep but went on for mile after mile. I had to work the old Trol a bit, could really do with a turbo

I'll put a spanner in the works here; the speeds you describe, are they from the speedo on the Mavrano, or from a more accurate (GPS) source?

I ask because my vehicle the speedo consistently over reads by about 6 to 8 mph up to 70, over 70 the discrepancy gets bigger. So if I drive at an indicated 50, I'm actually only doing about 43mph. Means it does the fuel economy good, but i also know I'm driving slower than the traffic conditions often allow. Hence the reason that i try & drive to s even 56mph, which is about 25oorpm on my vehicle.

Mine does the same.Only realised it when I got a SatNav.Now I know why everyone was passing me and giving me the beady eye(amongs other things)If I don't have the SN I try and stay around 2500rpm.At 3000 I'm doing about 70mph.
