On my run to work on normal roads I nearly always get 33 mpg, Very rare ends up below 30 mpg, Thats on a 9 mile journey

You do realise after a turbo or map change, your mpg on the OBC means nothing anymore....... Mine says 18 or lower but clearly it's not quite that bad

Beat way is for you to run your car outta fuel with a gallon in the boot, put that in and see if you travel more than 4 miles! Clearly you will unless you've got a crazy displacement. Odds are on that you'll do more than 18....... The computer is fairly crap. I've got mine to read 48 mpg if I drive carefully but again that's wrong. I asked nick at rtec when I got my spec 2 and he said the OBC reading goes outta the window with the map and turbo etc
