Took a steady run from Swansea back home as traffic was heavy
Filled up before I left
220 miles - pretty impressive i think

For example (not hijacking, sharing)

one tank.
Another tank actually did this figure

(bottom one for those who don't know)
This is the worst MPG I've got from it, it won't go below it

and it'll do this (that's km/h btw)

yeah, but I'd got about 500rpm left and it wouldn't pull at all, it's a little better now it's remapped.

I've been cruising round in a brand spanking 318d this week 
I, er, like it. 
Bit too floaty though, and the brakes don't feel sharp enough.

As for mpg I have no idea... too busy watching the economy needle swinging around from side to side

My brakes are shit.
I've not noticed mine being floaty, unless by floaty you mean sideways?

I almost killed a cyclist as I'm used to the Mazda's brakes and these just dont work the same
I meant on under braking mostly, squirms around a lot.

Oh, mine does that if you brake REALLY hard and change down a gear too as it locks one rear wheel

That'll be it then. Probably didnt help that my passenger was being helpful and flicking the TC on and off whenever she felt like it
