You got the computer on the real time setting put it to the trip setting. I found its accurate to within 3-4% from when Ive worked it out in the past.
Ive had over 650 miles from a tank and filled up before the light came on so another 55 miles till empty. Minimum I get is 550 and thats 80 ish on the motorway
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

Had an Rtech remap last week, on a 180mile 60% motorway run yesterday I got 57.1 MPG...very pleased with this. Just filled up with 75£ worth of V power...going to see what I get out of a tank of 'mixed' driving  :cool:

£75 to fill your tank is crazy !

I've never fitted more than £65 in mine but I have never run it to the fuel light coming on

That's some pretty good figures, just out of interest is your car mapped?

Yes its mapped. If I didn't get 50+ on the motorway Id be looking for why?
