CDI mpg improvement

[geraldrobins]

Hope youre not being ageist with the reference to pensioners!!
Ill be retiring in July at 67, so hope Ill still be allowed on the roads. Shall I pull over to let you pass. Im sure Jackie Stewart would.

yes pull over, if you're driving at 24.5 mph on NSP roads (60) with nothing in front...who's Jackie Stewart a golfer?

I just dont think you should generalise. People dont suddenly drive slower on reaching a certain age. we need tolerance on the roads. Wish my speedo was that accurate by the way.

Turn the digital speedometer on, or keep an eye on the analogue speedo?

Hi all,
new owner of a c200 cdi (56) an was getting 32-38 mpg. Not sure if this would help but I noticed the last b service didn't identify a fuel filter change. 5 min job an my 12 mile commute now averages 51 mpg, also use redex.
Also changed thermostat which was sticking ( over fuels when cold to speed up engine temp)

Just my 10p worth.
