'New' van MPG

I'm growing more confident in the van now as I did a 600+ mile round trip to
north Yorks and back and it ran very well.
MPG was good, fill up to fill up showed it giving me 51.summat per gallon
( mostly motorway miles of course)
This surprised me as that's as good as the best the old 6 speed Galaxy ever gave me and I was hoping for low 40's
so got a pleasant surprise.
It seems pretty decent around the town too.

Whilst doing the first ever fill to the brim, I kept glancing under the van to see if there was a leak as the pump kept running for ages.
Later I read it has an 80 litre tank.
I filled up before coming back down South and after 382 miles from fill up,
the gauge showed a wee bit more then 3/4 full.
Impressive.

I managed to run my van dry, unaware of my reserve lamp failiure. It took 85 liters to fill it up until the first fuel pump overflow valve cutoff.

OK,
I found an owners handbook in all the paperwork I got with the van yesterday and
it says the fuel tank capacity is "Approximately 80 liters"
so 85L from bone dry to full sounds about right.

Re: 'New' van MPG

I think I've had 95 litres in mine before, but that's sitting there painstakingly filling it until it's literally filled to the brim
