Everyone elses MPG seems a bit horrific. Golf MK2 GTI does around

Such a range, must make judging if you need to fill up now or after
the next trip a little difficult.

Not really. 37mpg is more like my usual MPG, but it depends how you drive
it. There's no cat and it's happy to run a bit rich on full throttle.

Citroen ZX 1.9D with a binding caliper does about 44mpg or 40mpg

24mpg with binding calipers on my car recently, though application of
a block of wood and hammer could nudge that back up to 28. The binding
calipers knocked the long term (since Dec 04) mpg down to 29.3, just
before that it was 29.5. 2.5l 5 cylinder turbo diesel. MPG doesn't
really seem to vary much but then with 2.8 tonnes to shift there is
little point in even trying to "go faster", all you get is a lot of
noise and, occasionally, a lot of black smoke.

That's what you get for having a Land Rover...
