Glad you got it sorted Brownie. Got to be honest 36 miles to £20 is quite a shocker. 70-80 miles to £20 is about what i get from the cossie, so not too bad there then. Nice motors the 24v mondeos. I was actually on my way to look at one when i stumbled across my cossie ( aint fate great )  . Happy motoring m8 & hope you get the scorpio back on the road soon... Craig

Bloody hell 
I've been complaining that I only get 140ish out of £20 in my diesel.
I used to get 200+ out of my old 306.

Rob...Seriously , you get 140 miles from £20 in a scorpio diesel . Thats a lot more than i thought you could get  Have been thinking about getting an old diesel scorp for the monday to friday stuff. That means i could do my weekly commute on £15 instead of the usual 30

Most of my commute (50 miles a day) to work is motorway, & I get around 35-36mpg.
£20 only gets me 4 gallons now so it works out around the 140 mile mark.
I currently get between 420-450 mile to a tank (around £60),
although I'm hoping that may improve with the new injectors.

The old 20 / 20 eh. I LOVE the cossie  but cant really cant afford to run it anymore  . My daily commute consists of 5 miles back streets & 5 miles 50mph dual carrigeway ( one way ). Usually spend 10 mins stuck in traffic ( at busy islands ) & put in around £30 per week. So by my reconing a diesel should save me £15 a week. Only problem is i wont be able to upset the 5 series drivers on my way home of a friday ( i know.... 5 year old at heart ) . It is a serious consideration though

Very true. I do miss not having a car with 200-300BHP on tap.
I have to be sensible though, & 12-15mpg isn't an option ATM

I get the best of both worlds now, the S Class is a diesel so returns a good 30mpg on average plus it has over 200 bhp under the bonnet!!

Hi, frosty again ain't it, anyway, to the subject folks As the Cossies are very expensive to run over short distances etc I also have a -----Wait for it------ a Citroen AX 954cc's for short journeys to the shops. Saves me loads of dosh for the times when I do use one of the Cossies. I've had the AX for some 3 years now and think it is a great little car.
