I regularly do 700 mile trips (once or twice a month). My trick is also to hook up behind artic lorries being very careful not to be a pest to other HGV drivers. When the weather is between 10-20DegC, I get a touch over 70mpg in my 2013 Ford Focus 1.6 diesel.

We have had a 2007 tdv8 for the past 65,000 miles , it’s pulled our diggers weekly. Towed artics stuck in the snow up steep hills . Taken us up and down the uk on business including Plymouth to Sheffield once a month for a year (On a single tank) it’s allowed us to work in rural locations with our fencing gear and trailer in tow and we donated it for use during covid to care in the community staff to use how ever they needed . I can honestly say that the l322 tdv8 is unbeatable! From trips to ikea to mud plugging it’s the only car that you can work to the bone and then take out to a posh restaurant for dinner 👌 hats off to you Joel excellent engaging content

@johngriffin641 2 жыл бұрын

Amazing result for the 3.6. The secret is to keep the speed down as the L322 shape is not very aerodynamic. As soon as you start nudging 70 it really drops off fast and if you can keep it 60-65 they will reward you with this kind of distance. In almost any other car going that speed feels like you are wasting time but in an L322 it’s time we’ll spent.

I used to have a 3.6 one of these. A truly wonderful car. Money no object and only allowed one car for the rest of my life, it would be a Range Rover. It’s harmed by the fuel consumption and tax cost. Servicing doesn’t need to be too expensive if you can DIY the basics and have a good independent specialist. Generally the car did about 26mpg over the ten years with the car but I did an economy run a few times and got her to 40mpg. Tricks were as Joel suggested, minimal acceleration so the turbos don’t spool up, anticipation, observation and using manual gear mode so you can select a high gear ASAP and lock it in.

I do this challenge every time I go into work (I mostly work remotely but drive 2 hours in once a week) it's surprisingly relaxing I've found and I drive a ford fiesta so MPG can be averaging 80mpg on a good day. But I do sit behind lorries to minimise wind resistance which is probably a wee bit dangerous
