Hi

Had my 1990 1.6td high top out on its first longish trip this weekend, I think over the 300 miles or so we did I got about 27 mpg, that's with 75% of the miles done at 65-70 mph (3000rpm). Compared to others is that about right?

I have the same setup: 1.6 TD (JX) highroof and we do around 8L/100km that is 35mpg if I'm not mistaking.
If mine goes to 27mpg which is 10L/100km, I really start to worry :)
