I used to get 28 until I fixed a leaky return pipe: now I get 30 easily B)

Well if you can call not pressing either pedal more than 5mm, over-inflating the tyres, not allowing it to idle, using 5th gear above 25mph, keeping the windows wound up, adding molyslip to the diff, transferbox and gearbox easy anyway ;)

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

Took the Jim on a trip down to Reading last week. Still running in really, (2000 miles on the clock so far), and so taking it steady. A steady indicated 60mph there and back. I brimmed on the way out in the morning and again at the end of the day at the same place on the way home. Was very surprised to work out I got a shade over 42mpg. Standard truck other than spacers and 195 tyres.
