Gary - welcome to the club by the way.
(i) Not sure if you have found this out or not, but 18 litres is not "always" 18li - can be significantly less (also dependant on whether you are going around a corner
)....
(ii) I am generally experiencing a full tank as 57 litres (12.5 gallons), on which I can get app 220 miles to the tank with decent, spirited driving even though commuting. Think this works out to be 18mpg or thereabouts. Motorway sprints are better at app 22-24mpg, but I generally try and find smaller country roads = rapid decrease in mpg.
(iii) Next service would generally be your 12k mile service - a "larger" one generally. Would recommend a thorough check on some of the historical problem areas with the engine as rebuilds have been known to occur around this mileage in some circumstances.

my tuscan has fsh 9000
ithas had all its sevices done 6000 12000 18000 but what a saying is a 24000 necessary
even if the car has only 9000 mls yes the car is 5year old now but has only 9000 mls so how can you need to do a 24000 when i have on done 9000 does that mean if a got the car put it in my garage and never used it in 10 years later would i still have to do 24000 service????

Hi Gary,
Can only reiterate 6k or 12 months, I had my annual done before Christmas and I was told that they would check plugs etc but may not change them as I've only done 3k since last service.
I've not had my account yet, therefore I'm not sure what has taken place, in general my servicing costs have got cheaper over the last 31/2 years with the Tuscan fingers crossed that this is still the case.
The car was only in for the day and Ken has assured me there was nothing to worry about other than the replacement of the leaky oil pressure sensor which I have known about for the last 15 months or so as the leak is only very very slight.
Best Regards,
James Sim.

I normally get about 27-28 on the motorway dropping to mid/high teens round town so your 18 ish to the gallon would seem about right. I have found the petrol gauge on my Tuscan to be pretty accurate - reads 56l when full and if I top it up the figure on the pump equates to the change on the gauge. I normally top mine every time to get an idea of mpg.
I found that my mpg dropped rapidly when I had a lamda sensor fail (18mpg on motorway, 12-13 round town) however I reckon your getting what you should for "town slow miles". IMHO quit worrying and try a longer run at a constant(ish) speed to see what you get.
