| After reading this I decided to see what the consumption for my wee beastie is , and was pleasantly syrprised.. I have worked it out :- 140 miles covered using 23 litres of diesel is equal to 27.8 mpg..... Will run the test again in a couple of weeks and see if I can do any better | |

| like I said the original advert read 35-45 but he changed it.... obviously some one asked him about it... but the comment about the overdrive shows he doesn't know what he's talking about... would you buy a van from him | |

| Done a run down to Andover then to Worcestershire and Birmingham and back to Herts over the weekend... done 850km and was returning 30.5 mpg... I was happy with that. I use this site http://www.torquecars.com/tools/uk-mpg-calculator.php to work it out.. | |

| if anyone could get 25mpg out of the 2.4turbo they must have sails on the top and only take it out in in strong winds that blow from the rear | |

| It must all be down to weather, air temp. etc... because with my little Smart I get anything from 51mpg to 20mpg... usually the upper range but when in leadfoot mode it drops way down........ good fun though!!!!!!!!! | |
