I'm in a life's too short mode: 30mpg on a 28 mile run.

And the back of my car is now well and truly filth!

mpg and speed is not mutually exclusive.

This can also represent very bad gear selection, quick changes in speed (all within speed limits) or lots of standing traffic with your foot on the gas to keep the heated seat cooking!

66.7mpg this morning on the way through to Fife from home. The M8 was pretty busy and moving about 45-50mph so that helped  :smiley:

Six months old and just passed 10k miles so Friday saw some BP Ultimate as a special special present, odly ,also just did 57mpg to the tank based on fill-up, the best yet!!!

Glad to hear your mpg is going in the right direction, the warmer weather and breaking her in will all help!

Can't you carbonate "THE MOST ECONOMICAL" program in the world ever!?!

Weirdly the most economical maps (in my experience anyway) tend to be the ones with more power than so called 'eco=maps'

What he says above spot on  :wink:
