Just goes to show it's the nut behind the wheel that needs adjusting if you're not getting the required MPG.

All the cars got within 2-3mpg of the manufacturer figures, pretty good!

Re: 451 diesel on fifth gear

I think the guys on 5th gear were hoping to prove the manufactures figures wrong.....but they admit to driving them all fairly carefully to obtain the figures

Shouldn't do the sales of the cdi any harm though!!
