Technical Fiat Doblo very heavey on diesel ?? Loads of power though

[Danomul]

Hi I'm new here .
I recently bought a 2009 1.3multijet doblo.
Van has loads of power
Loud whistle when acceleration through gears but no issues .
Van is heavy on diesel done I'm on half a tank now and it has only done 200 miles ?? Is this normal or have I a problem . Diesel gauge drops very fast.. I also notice if car is parked on hill or left up for 24hours it's hard to start and heater plug light starts to flash . Please can someone help me and tell me what there vans are like on diesel

Hi
Youll have to work out the fuel vs distance travelled..
those 1248cc motors ARE capable of 70mpg.. but there are obviously 1001 things that can detract from that

Glow plugs shouldnt be a major factor with economy

They have 75 and 90 bhp in the cars.. any idea which yours is?

Any idea where to start ?? Would someone of turned the power up that's why it's very powerful ? Or are they all quite quick .

Yes.. give us a mileage vs fuel figure ;-)

Long trip.. or short runs across town..??

Is the Heater getting HOT?

60 litres it takes to fill .. I actually done 40 miles refilled it again and it took 14euro . Bought diesel at 1.70. how do you mean is heater getting hot? It's always hot if you mean blower . And temperature is always half way
