Mondeoman Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Hi peeps, i'll start with an apology in case this has already been covered...So...Sorry ......Any who, what sort of mpg's are you getting ? I think the novelty has worn off my car now, so imagine my horror when i can only get 39.6 mpg ( as shown on the computer ) and thats driving like the proverbial nun..Are trip computers to be trusted ? or should i use the brim to brim method ?..Cheers.....Bill..By the way it's an 06 2.2 tdci..running 18 inch wheels with low profiles. ( should the computer be calibrated for all wheel/tyre combinations ? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mintalkin Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 do not trust the trip computer, try the brim to brim method and see what mpg you get ,the official figures are Urban Fuel 33.6 mpg Extra Urban 57.6 mpg Combined 45.6 mpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
