No I am on about my previous trip, that was 3000 mile round trip, for 300 miles it does not make that much of a difference.

All I can say is that the guy took advantage of you, and was economical (or not as the case is) with the truth

I agree with you Andy'....as you say there are so many factors that'll influence mpg...

(..Must say though,I'm starting to wonder what the modern day base vehicle manufactureres,Fiat/Peugeot/Ford etc,have been playing at for the last twenty years,if 2lt petrol Talbot coachbuilts, of '80s vintage,are still supposedly achieving 28mpg?!?..)

I'm not getting a great deal more than that from my 2007,2.2hdi Peugeot..

Well,as I posted earlier,I was lucky to get near 25mpg when I ran a 2ltr talbot van conversion,let alone figures pushing near 30..and that was back in the early '90s,when the vehicle was only a few years old..

The figures that you're 'van's achieving would be pretty painful though...

Hi Nora,

Hope you are well, Just a thought, a few years ago my MIL looked at a Citroen Berlingo based motorhome called a nu venture surf,

They looked quite spacious inside, had quite good MPG figures and can''t have been much bigger in length than your 406,

If you sold the Van, Motorhome and car this may be a viable option, and should have better MPG

there may be some used ones about now as I know it was a few years ago when we looked for her.

Hope this helps
