Pro es seem to be all over the place in Spain I paid €1.20 at a Repsol garage.
thats bolluxs, Hitchin is a fine market town
As a starter, my 2022 140ho 9 speed auto Ducato uses 10 litres every 2500 miles, which seems astonishingly high compared to my wife's last car which used 10 litres every 10,000 miles. Regardless, never seen it as a problem nor caused me any problems and now I know how easy and convenient the pump is to use, even less so. I do around 10k miles a year and drive around 65mph on the motorway, keep up with traffic flow elsewhere
We get 170 miles per litre so about 53 Lt for us.
I am getting similar AdBlue consumption figures from my 2024 2.2 litre 9 speed auto van. The more diesel you use the more AdBlue is needed to remove the NOX, I am averaging just over 32 MPG.
Alright for some I'm only getting 24.5mpg.
I think yours is heavier, taller and has more horses. I am getting better MPG since changing from Compactline to Van and put it down to better aerodynamics.
Last van was running 500 to 600 kg heavier and bigger and I was getting 26mpg, must be the new lead boots.
Blimey Lenny, you're losing your touch, paying €1.20 for adblue, and only 24.5mpg? I getting 28 mpg from my 4.5t hymer!

You must have money to burn,
Makes you wonder when you see some have filled up with Add Blue at €0.30 lt when Repsol charge €1.20 lt, I think I'll stick to Repsol when in Spain.
I suspect those having problems either have stale adblue from their last trip to Spain or buy containers which have not been stored properly or have been sitting around for a while, I think all the pump adblue is the same and it will be fresher than something stuck in a container on a garage or shop forecourt in the sun.
not true unfortunately.
I guess I only ever went there for work, therefore the industrial bit. The road in and area around it is pretty grim but I haven't been anywhere else.
Appreciate what you say, but I was referring to the post about cheap supermarket adblue, if you have to use it, I think fresh adblue supplied from tanks is best.
Grim, its in the industrial heartland of leafy Hertfordshire? Like all towns its has an industrial area of small factories, warehouses, but nothing that many would consider proper industrial? who did you work for, and why didn't you ever go into the town, even the spoons is a bit up market from the usualI guess I only ever went there for work, therefore the industrial bit.

Maybe I need to readjust my opinion
I still dont recognise your descriptionspoons? upmarket?
I'll take your word for it!
Why didn't I ever go into town? Well, because I worked from home and only ever had to travel the hour into the office a handful of times a year. It was work so I would then have an hour drive back home and frankly was never inspired enough by what I'd seen on the way in to make me wonder if there was a part of town that wasn't run down, abandoned or grim.
From people's comments it does sound like that part does exist somewhere, just not on the commute I did.
Similarly, I saw the posh bit of Harlow yesterday. Absolutely lovely it is. Not like my client sites in the commercial part at all.
In a former job I would regularly travel to Paris and people were envious of me. The 4am start to go to the industrial areas of the city was a far cry from people's visions of me sat in the 7th Arrondisment sipping coffee and eating exquisite pastries by the banks of the Seine... It was more graffiti and burned out cars with corner shops with metal roller blinds where I went.
Perhaps I need to work with fancier clients
