That is exactly the same. That's good to know it appears to be a characteristic of the car. I cant help thinking that sitting in neutral must save fuel, as the engine note smooths out and its not "fighting the car"

I ran a bottle of millers through the tank to clean the injectors but not a filter/injector soak treatment yet. Will try optimax too as a treat for it!

Mean to do the inlet manifold and clean the MAP at some point. My driving is a mix of 40% city rush hour commute and 60% open A roads, sitting at 50-60. Over the last 2 tanks brim-brim it was 35 then 37, but I have been doing more "static running" with work on the electrics (towbar) and exhaust replacment, EGR etc testing for things. Would be happy to have the mpg around 40-42 as this is what I used to get from PSA 1.9 TD lumps. Tales of 50-60 mpg make me very jealous!!
