Yesterday I did 400 miles, mostly at 60-75mph,in my 150bhp UK diesel. At the start of the trip I reset the average fuel consumption.
Not sure why, but I check it quite frequently. Around the 50 mile mark, I was averaging 51mpg. Shortly after it plummeted to 45 and I realised it was in a DPF regen cycle.
The final average consumption at 48 by the end of the 400 miles.
Only mildly interesting but, to those in the US who are about to get diesels, you might find this useful to know ahead.
