took the rexton down to cosford airshow.

90 miles of 80mph motorway and an hour in traffic idling.

the same back

bit more running round

total miles 280

used 46L. with 20ml in 20L

i think thats about 120 odd miles to a cubbie at 80mph.

in a 2.9L 2.5 tonne truck.

not sure what that is to the gallon?

Google is great for this kind of conversion, so long as you remember to inform it that they are imperial (not US) gallons:

https://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en#hl=en&q=280%2F46+miles+per+litre+in+miles+per+imperial+gallon

Result - 27.7mpg.  Pretty respectable for the vehicle.  Automatic box?

At the moment I'm not seeing any clear gains from using 2-EHN now we're in the peak of summer, so I've stopped adding it.  I think it's great for cold, short journeys, but makes little or no difference (even in winter) to long journeys.

Perhaps this is why people's results are so variable?
