Its £1.07 over here but I still think its obscene.  It was 0.89p 6 months back. Also, I have noticed that the petrol went up with the recent rise in oil prices to nearly $100 a barrel (I've always wondered what size barrel they're on about) but then the prices have since gone down somewhat but with no corresponding decrease in prices at the pump.  I reckon Shell and the other oil companies are just cashing in - barstewards.

I've noticed something. On my mid-line screen it has menus under "1" and a "2" settings. kind of like two memories for the menus and info.
I've noticed that scrolling the menus/infos on "1" shows different readings to menus/infos on "2". Any idea why they have two readings for all menus?

Menu "1" is showing that my mpg is 22 and menu "2" is showing it as 32. Which is correct?

Go read your handbook!

There are two memories!

Standard GTi, 2500 miles on the clock; I drive moderately hard but generally only on short trips so am barely getting upto temperature. I get anywhere between 12mpg to 19mpg (about 250 miles to a tank); if I drive sedately I get about 22.5mpg and 32 on a long trip. Economy isn't brilliant but it is improved if you stay below 3000 rpm and avoid using the turbo fully.
