Diesel economy of my D240 yesterday

I’m starting to like this car’s potential fuel ecomony…………… 1st one was yesterday getting towed along / drafting behind two touring coaches on the A83 from Rest and Be Thankful to Inverarary in western Scotland and included a 3-4 minute stop at roadworks with traffic lights on them.

My Mini Electric can easily get 198mpg equivalent at this time of year so a bit of work to do yet in the 110….

2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed!

Having had an almost clear drive up and arrived 20 earlier than I expected, last evening’s drive back was stop start from Firkin Point on Loch Lomondside all the way to the Stoneymolan roundabout above Balloch….. couldn’t see any remains of accidents and there were no road works but I suspect that the traffic joining at the roundabout where the A82 joins the A818/ Helensburgh road at Arden was the problem - I think that the Helensburgh Show was on at the weekend.

Enjoy your trip to the islands - brilliant weather for it if it holds out - I’m off to drive the length of Norway for almost a month but not in the Defender - I’ve rented a VW ID3 from Hertz.

I have a 6cyl 250d 110 now on 1100 miles. Off to Uist & Harris in early Sept by which time I should just be on 2000 miles. Hoping to get 40 mpg on the long motorway slog up north from Northants and 34 or so whilst doing all the miles on local smaller roads.

Will update when back towards end of Sept.
