I have stopped watching my mpg as it just depresses me to know what it is. 
I would say this though; I have found my mpg to drop over the winter months, I don’t know if it’s the fuel burner using it or (and there was a debate on here last year about it) it might be the extra additives that the fuel company’s put in fuel over winter
Tyre pressures I run 36F 40R JE Remap, De-cat, Blanked EGR's, Allisport intercooler, Samco intercooler hoses, D4 rear lights, A bar, Big spot lights, Front headlight guards,

ISTR fronts are 33?? Just filled up, 333 miles, half 75mph/half local & got 24.4mpg. Not bad in the scheme of things. Will get my tyres pumped up, my Viair blew up last month so it's 50p in the maching at the local garage.
PS back in the BM next week so looking forward to nearly 50mpg again.

Why not give it a try, if it does not work you just drop back to norm.
If you do keep a check on mpg.  Andy.

Is that figure off the dash display? My dash figure is generally telling me 29-30mpg but actual mpg is 19-23mpg (see my figures on page 2). If that figure IS from your dash I suggest you brim full it and do the maths  12 D4 Commercial SDV6

Ever since I've run a diesel, which goes back to a time when it was about 50p a ltr and about 20p less than petrol!! - winter has always resulted in a drop of around 10% - always put it down to a mixture of additives reducing the octane rating (Or some such other effect) and longer to warm up in the mornings - I ran an Audi A6 which would be cold after 8 miles of town driving in the winter. Mark.
