Is 100 miles from £10 of petrol reasonable?

I have a 1995 2.8 TD LWB Shogun and to £10 of Diesel I am getting under 20 (TWENTY) miles.

I have recently serviced the vehicle... and have not noticed a change.

I know of a fault it has an slight oil leak from the sump seal. Would a slight leak affect the ammount of miles I get out ot my vehicle?

other than the oil leak where do I look next TURBO, FUEL PUMP, MIXTURES?

believe it or not , shoguns with all the aerodynamics of a brick are not very frugal
big chunky tyres and bull bars dont help either

I have a 100 BHP Fabia 1.9 TDI which does 50-55mpg, even when flooring it. Fantastic.

i have a 1998 1.4 clio and it does at the most 370 miles to the tank (£37)...usually averages around 340 miles tho
From my £10 i usually get around 110 miles of motorway driving

I had an N reg Citroen ZX 1.4i until earlier this year when it was stolen!!! WHY?! It was a great little nippy car and would do around 100 mile on a tenner of petrol. Now I've ended up with a Hyundai Accent 1.3 coupe i (don't laugh) which is sluggish and no where near as nippy as the Citroen and I get about the same, if not less, miles out of it per tenner (allowing for petrol price increases). So I can only assume it is something to do with the weight. I am saving for a new (not brand new!) beetle which I hope to treat myself to for my 40th birthday!!!
