If you conclude that from the trip comp U better sit down. It is normally 2 - 3 over optimistic! 25 mpg (actually calculated) is what I'm getting from 2 D3s. Any better is a bonus.

Best actual mpg 36, cruising at 60 for 400 miles with a tail wind (makes a big difference). Worst 12.6 200 miles heavily laden across soft sand in Tunisia.
