800 miles + ???? Do you mean kilometres? That’s like driving London to Glasgow and back on one tank of fuel!

No.Definitely miles. Mondeo 1.5 lt diesel econetic. Max speed 110 kms.Max rev 2000. I do get nervous when 800 miles from last fill approaches.Ford handbook claims 1000 miles range but I don't know how they did that.Certainly not on the roads we all use.
I have a relaxed driving style.Accelerate with a nudge from each gear.No need to thrash it.I've long since lost my need for speed.My last trip to Roscoff took from 1500 to 0915 inc.breaks.One fuel break 15km.south of Pamplona arrived in Roscoff with quarter tank remaining.I plan on 60 mpg.
