41.5MPG
Just back from a longish (220 mile) run which was showing me 41.5MPG (big imperial gallons) as we approached London. The traffic wasn't too bad, so that's varying between 60 & erm, 70ish, most of the way.
The engine has done almost 9k, and its about the third tank through of BP Ultimate Diesel since I switched from the standard stuff.
I think the key to getting decent mileage is the ability to keep a reasonable constant speed, and maybe even the 5mph tail wind helped. I only got high 30's in the opposite direction, although the traffic was much heavier doe the first hour.
All in all, it's yet another impressive thing about a very impressive car.
