MichellefromEssex Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Off the top of my head its about 268 - I think lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter3716 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Hi, this morning at a fill up it reported 368 miles, on hols last week - Bolton - Poole - Bolton it settled at 49.1 MPG, rather impressed !!! Admittedly taking it a little easy, since still less than 1k miles. Always use Shell Unleaded, basic stuff, for the points! Cheers - Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichellefromEssex Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 368 - thats a whole 100 miles more in your tank than me!!!!!! I filled up on Monday at Asda, 98.9p per litre. Maybe ive read it wrong, I will check this morning as its been in Mountune all week and not driven much and ive still got a near on full tank.

paulworthing Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Does it calculate on what your average MPG is when it works out how many miles you can get ona tank so if you are a more cautious driver you would get more and if you are a little more 'spirited' (as I am sure I am going to be most of the time) then it will show less? Using this theory then Michelle is clearly a more 'spirited' driver than Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichellefromEssex Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 More spirited - mmm yeah I suppose you could say that lol.

sussex Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Keith, out of interest your 1.4 petrol, what mpg do you get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulworthing Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 More spirited - mmm yeah I suppose you could say that lol. Not much point having hte Mounttune fitted if you are not going to use it now is there Michelle. Still can't make up my mind as everyting I have read says it makes it a bit on the loud side Ok so I was wrong, looked this morning and it was 345 left so I must get the same as Peter roughly lol. Mpg on a short trip to work yesterday was 38. Guess it decides what a tank should do then and then drop the figure as you do some driving depending on your dirving style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithC Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Keith, out of interest your 1.4 petrol, what mpg do you get? I reset it the other week, it's not been driven for around a week now and if I remember correctly it was on around 38mpg but that is all stop and start town driving. It's just passed 1,000 miles though so some more loosening up to be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
