jeebowhite Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Its not a problem as such. the computer works out your average range based on your average MPG. If you dont reset it, or you have a nice high MPG and maintain it, then the car will update accordingly. If your granny driving, then you probably will see it increases the number, likewise, if you reset it and thrash it around, you will see you start dropping at a rate of knots. I wouldnt worry, these things are only guestimates and will not affect the cars driveability. It just gives you more of a mental workout, to stop you falling asleep at the wheel :p lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyrb Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 Ye I can see what u mean I do like to eh play with it especially on the autobahn hehe il drive slowly for a while see if it goes up mind u the car is actually pretty fuel efficient will have to wait and see Wanna try get it back to the 480 miles per tank Was hoping it was gonna go over 500 with the 102 octane in it anyway will have to wait and see thanks for the info Sent from my iPhone using Ford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 No worries, I am playing with my mondeo to see how many miles I can get for a tank, my first and only full tank did 574 miles, but I was rather heavy footed, this tank is on par for about 650 and the next tank will probably be granny driving to see what I can get!
