The Dark Knight Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 This is to be expected of course but I think this is very encouraging, more so than I thought. I brimmed the tank at the local Shell garage the other day and the computer claimed 300 miles until empty, which I thought was fair enough because the car is new and still running in etc. 26 miles on the trip since filling up and it now claims 292 miles until empty. Keep underestimating at that rate please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambooka Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 It's not underestimating the miles left alters with whether your mpg goes up or down as it increases the miles remaining increases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1g_dav3 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Does the same with me, never had higher than 420 miles on a tank, yet I get 550 most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minnis Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 It adjusts to your driving. My dad normally only does town driving, and gets about 500 miles to a tank. He took me to uni and back while mines at the mechanics and, after 20 miles of motorways, it was reading about 580. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpg Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I'm lucky to get 300 miles on a full tank in my Zetec 1.25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
