Terrible mileage

On some pamphlet of the seller there was a mention of 30 mpg for the fuel consumption. Turns out that was overly optimistic: the big Luton box is not very smooth in the wind of driving, and when going more than 80 km/h, this is a major factor. Not sure what the cw value for this vehicle is...

But when filling up, I got around 15-16 mpg. Not very impressive... the LDV had an overall average of 25.5 mpg, over all the past 6 years.

I will probably need to drive much slower. Even though the vehicle drives very smooth at 70 mph. But that is probably not a very efficient speed...
