I also have to do Uni runs several times a year of 540mile round trips for one and now will also do about 400 to Sheffield for the other child. I usually get 50-53mpg on those runs and I believe that these runs do the engine/DPF good but personally, haven’t noticed any difference

Not wishing to state the obvious but.........have you reset your MPG gauge ?
To be honest, no I haven't still need to sit and have a play with the controls and have a play.

I wouldn't even know how to sure it can't be to hard..

I'm due to go on from Essex to Sheffield and home again today so will work out how to reset it before I leave.
