    I get just short of 60MPG out of my Ford Mondeo. Most of my time is spent overtaking people.

    If you need to drive like a snail to get decent fuel economy, you're doing it wrong.

    Not like a snail but gentle acceleration instead of quickly upto the limit. Also not a clear run.

    I can get very good consumption at 80+ in 6th though. Strange but its better at those speeds than 50mph.

    You have commented on my consumption before but i know nothing is wrong. I would like to decat and block the EGR to get better consumption but it cannot.
    Leaving the compound short drive to and from the gates do i stop the engine or leave it running each time? Same when i take the MIL to the docs. So many stop and starts and short journey's. It does hammer my consumption.
