How , you not used to going as fast …

it was on the m42 going north so it's uphill richard ....

honestly mick, it was very hard to travel at this speed especially when these trucks get up your a$$.

So to achieve 33.2mpg in a TD6 you let a truck shove you along the motorway

they did get close but i reckon the thought of the expense if they crashed into a range, kept them back..

You mean you came by and never put your head round the door Stan ??

BTW, I did that going to a meeting last week. Tailgated a John Lewis lorry all the way down the M40. 39mpg

And at 16p/mile I'm still losing out.

Ours is up at 142K and I am getting 24 mpg out of a Jag V8! 06MY 4.4 V8 Autobiography Cairns Blue with Navy & Parchment Interior

i called DOM, but you were out..

If you could maintain that mpg for a full tank of diesel I reckon youd get about 650-700 miles!!!
Best average I've got over a full tank is 25.6 and that returned 580miles. FFRR TD6 HSE

Also at 50mph motorway height would not have engaged. What you need to do is gradually build up to 65-70 so height adjusts then lock it and drop back down to 50  FFRR TD6 HSE
