No, glow plugs are just to help with the starting of the engine in cold weather.

Angie81, this may be a bone question, but are you a woman?

Was it full to the brim, you then drove 110 miles & it took £30 to refill? This is the only way you could be sure of true mpg.

Apologies if this is obvious....

Do you have blonde hair?


Sorry. I'll get my coat. Rolling with laughter

Think you'll find mpg is low 20s. Perfectly normal for this time of year for local runs where the car doesn't warm up. Thumbs Up
