Between 50 to 60 miles with the 2.8
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been
Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered
)
Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

I would say your about spot on there mate...my old block would do about 35 miles the newer one about 40, but if I drive nice then it will push up to 45 (also if I take all the stuff out the back)

To the edge of the fourcourt if I am lucky, its a bit
Seriously though, I get about 40 miles on £10 of unleaded, but I am in Guernsey which means I can still get fuel for around a pound a litre
