I got 55mpg today driving at 75 with a few sprinted runs, loving this warmer weather, car stays clean and a rise in mpg  :cool:

ditto - i'm seeing nearly 60mpg on my run to work and just over 50 on the way home  :cool:

need to wash mine first for it to stay clean though  :grin: :grin:

reckon I can get 60+ again, but that would be soooo boring  :grin:
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

mine had done this for ages and i've not been able to find a fix,

I tried this last week, and hit 160mpg lol only for a minute on MFD 1  :smug:
Took car for about 7-ish mile drive; turned it off, left it for a while 30min or so. Started it up again and drove off, MFD was still displaying the 40mpg from first journey. So i reset it on No 1 setting to zero, carried on with the journey and the mpg was  :cool:
If that makes any sense give it a go.  :wink:

2002 TDI se 100bhp-ish Auto/tip Black Magic. :cool:
