I have no idea what i get out of my derv but im sure im going to noitice a big difference now because both of the rear brake pads were stuck in the carriers which had also made the pads wear right down.

mine is 45-50mpg even in a heavy state of tune.

As to why yours has dropped recently - cold weather really really nails the economy - i have noticed this over the years.

short of weather biggest factor is driving style... as long as there are no siezed brakes lol

Had a rear brake seized last year. Probably should check it again at some point, although it seems fine at the mo. Perhaps it just doesn't link the cold and 10 mile trips.
