First ever outing

Flat930 · 2026-05-14T18:57:09+0100

Today was our first ever trip in our new (old) Cali after 25 year with a splitty, a quick potter over to France for a week.

Quick question for the hardened Cali owners, 34.7 MPG, steadyish 60 for 150 miles, (motorway for 50, hills and country roads for the rest) is that about right for a 2017 Ocean 4Motion, half laden?

Cheers all, enjoy your travels!

I suppose so. (I’d expect maybe 40mpg for my standard T6.1, 150bhp). Prepare for lots of numbers coming your way.

I’m just here to say that I love the registration number.

For a 2.5 ton 4 Motion vehicle that's about right.

We are sitting at about 32mpg when driving rural and urban but a tad lower on the motorway

Something to do with gravity and a heavier right foot when there is an M in the title!
We are a 2024 204 4wd.
The 150ps 2wd will use less fuel per mile but we like the way ours drives.
Hope this helps. (nice van!)
