Wow.....1st super MPG from the Rocco

Post by Sootchucker »

Hi all,

Had the Rocco for 18 months now and whilst generally quite pleased with the overall MPG, ive never managed to get the sort of super high figures others have reported. Well, today, the wife and I travelled to London from Cheshire to the Warner Brothers studio at Leavensdon, to see the Harry Potter studio tour (wife's a massive HP fan) - really good BTW if you are a HP fan :D .

As we were in no hurry and was midweek, I just took it super easy, set the cruise to 70mph and just pootled down the motorway. Not driving like a granny but not booting it either, just a steady 178mile cruise. it was only after we got back that I deceided to check the figures and was astounded at what I saw. Nearly 80mpg, and a total range of over 850 miles showing (proof in photos below). Its amazing what these diesels can acheive without trying. Oh yeah, it only took 22.5 litres to refill which equates to a real 75.6mpg :eyepop: :eyepop:

Very impressive! But it's just so hard to keep it at 70mph!
