Having recently bought my 1.9 td multivan (not tdi) I was sceptical as to what to expect from it fuel wise.My T3 caravelle on LPG averages 18/20 mpg , so cost wise the T4 would need to do 30 to the gallon to  achieve the same mpg/cost to run figure ... On the last four fill ups it has done between 38 and 42 to the gallon .....to say Im  Chuffed is an understatement  Smile

on a good run you should get 45 plus as long as you keep it at 60 Wink

I used to have an aaz in a panel van and averaged 37mpg when commuting, definitely the way forward.  I've recently got a 1Z TDI so it'll be interesting to see how it compares.
