Not As Good As I Thought

I bought a Toyota Avensis 2.0 Turbo Diesel Estate 1998 about a month ago. She is not as good as I thought on Diesel, thought she would be ultra good, she is about the same as my old 1997 petrol Escort 1.6 16v Zetec Estate as in MPG. Since owning I have done an oil change using the correct grade oil, oil filter and air filter. Also used a bottle of Redex fuel additive and then some STP Diesel injector cleaner.

I must be honest and say I dont hang about, but not as bad as I used to be, im 34 now so had to grow up......although I got 112mph out of her.....on private land of course :lol:

Any ideas why she is not as good as I thought on Diesel, I have heard people say how they can do 500-600 miles between fill ups on some Diesels?

The Autotrader guide gives a combined figure of 42.9mpg for my Avensis. The later Avensis D4D (2000 onwards) is 47.8mpg

Yeah, it’s an 11 year old car and not straight from the showroom! If you halved your speed you may find an increase in mpg :thumbsup:
