Hypermiling a Stinger across England 62MPG for 218 miles

Hi all. Decided to see what I can truly get out of this Diesel Stinger mileage wise. Here some photos and route a took from Stockton to Leighton Buzzard this morning, set it on Cruise 75mph most of the time except for some road works and traffic. Set to Stinger Eco mode and TDITuner Eco Map 1. Car loaded with myself, 2 teenagers, boot full of bags and almost a full tank of diesel

Pics of MPG, mileage and time elapsed at 100 mile mark and 218 mile mark. Total average speed 65mph. One stop at the services for quick toilet break. Tank was about 80-90% full(saying about 480 miles range at start). At the end saying 314 miles range after doing 218 miles

If you look at the mileage range between the first photo and the second photo, it looks like I gained a few miles . It only dropped 75 miles between 100 and 218 miles(118 miles). At 62 MPG you could technically get over 800 miles(1300km) off a tank.

I must say I was impressed!! Thought 55 MPG might be achievable but it managed 62+ MPG!!

The TDI Tuner quotes eco Map 1 as apparently 247BHP 479Nm so quite a bit more power than stock but also more economical.

That is insane. I owned one diesel powered sedan in my life: a Peugeot, back in the early 80s: I recall that it got somewhere in the 30 MPG range: nowhere near what you are seeing.
