about 30 mpg out of my 53 1.9 dti vivaro van, (with 3 tier ladders and cat ladders on the roof rack and aerial kit in the back.)

trip computer says 30 mpg out of my 03 passat 2.0 s (130 bhp) (petrol)
passat once did 300 miles to 30 litres fully loaded with camping kit. (it was a good run)

Last time I checked mine was 21mpg on a long journey taking it easy, 16mpg overall use & less than 10 if I was having fun . Never bothered to check after that, but I was happy with those figures at 700bhp+.
