No offence C2K, but that's really not right. The mods will only improve mpg on a diesel as you're making the engine more efficient, so only kill the mpg if you drive her hard.
I have put it down to the deliverys stop start all the time tbh if i can keep it over 40mpg im happy, i used my gf's 1.2 petrol for a while and i only got 35mpg so was worst off, best car i had was the 106 1.5d i got 52mpg on deliverys with that! was amazing on fuel, i was under the understanding that mods will up my mpg because im hardly pressing the pedal to make it move..... might look out for a 1.5 d agin and have the hdi as a second car
