With the hike in fuel costs ive started to actualy care what the car is doing economy wise when driven to and from work ( boring in city runs )
After a recent quick calculation i realised i was only managing 21 mpg avarage !
To me in a mildly tuned car this is silly, So i decided that for the next week or so i would see if i could improve this... I reset everything on the dash display and selected the current mpg display.
In the past i wondered just how low this reading would go... i never managed to see less than 11 mpg, With a little blast in third gear yesterday i saw 7.2 !
I know this isnt a real reading but... same car so whats a miss? I think it may be time to log my fueling yet again .
What MPG do others see? both on the dash and in reality??
