I dunno what others will say, but I reckon that's really good. Have you done anything to it enginewise - e.g. SDi's, remap or anything?
Mine has 153K on the clock, SDi's, a cone air filter, gutted cat and free-flowing back-box, and a DigiMAFAM set to "POWAHHH!" As a result I very rarely see as much as 500 out of a tank (but those miles ARE a lot of fun)!

I dont run it empty so can't say how many mile i get out the tank, but i consistently get 40-45mpg in my general driving style.
484 ->545miles theoretical miles if it was brimmed to empty based on 55L tank.
when I want to drive like miss daisy, or the road conditions force it, it can go up as high as 55-60 (tootling along at 50mph for miles on end with little throttle inputs for example, but it is not very often that i ever want to put myself through that for long periods of time!)

I filled up yesterday, after a run up to Southend.
£32.18 @ £1.349 lt. = £5.25 / gall
Bournemouth to Halfway House, going clockwise and back 288.
so that gives 54.86 miles per gallon.
Well that is a surprise, I thought it was mid 40's less it was just because it was all motorway.

It's not had a remap that I know of, it's got a digimafam well looks like one of those haven't investigated properly yet though, remap will be on the cards but not sdi's as I want a cruiser with good mpg, ill leave the speed to my 180 ;-)

Even with a remap and SDi injectors, i can still get 50+mpg on a good motorway run.
Even just pottering around, i still get 40+mpg.
Cheers
Dave
