That's pretty good. 'T missus gets aorund 46mpg when she uses our TiD on her 50 miles each way motorway commute. I get an average of 42mph in my more mixed driving. However if I set the cruise to around 70mph, then I get in excess of 50mpg. And I agree that using the cruise is more economical than trying to keep a constant speed manually. Rob.
