What's your MPG?

Hi,

I just filled up for the first time, and managed 699 kms on 34.7 litres, which works out as 57mpg. I've had one answer already on my post, but it would be interesting to compare with other diesel owners.
It's a 1500, and I've used it every day to go to work for the last ten days. Mainly on country roads with very little traffic. Max comfortable speed with the 4-speed box is 95/100 kmh. It could go a lot faster, but it gets noisy.
