Thats actually borderline horrific! 70l tank?
My diesel storms well enough, not like an R, but once over 2500 rpm in 5th it responds and drives very similar to a stock T5/220bhp.
But on fuel I've only 2 or 3 times had less than 700miles out of a tank, usually in the 800's, once got 960 or 980 and when I filled it up only took 67l so there would have been a thousand miler in it if I just went a bit further before wussing out.
Legacy's are ace, trying to get a family member to get a recent ish one (2005>?), really wanted to get them a flat 6 diesel but internet reckons they all explode?

I'd been wondering about the fuel consumption- my 850 can do 400 miles on a tank if driven by a C of E Vicar on a motorway, or 250 miles on the same tank if driven with, shall we say, verve.
I used a whole tank of fuel less driving back from Italy than I had used driving down there as I came back on the Autoroute at a steady 85. I'd gone down on the Autobahn.
