Wow! Forgot how sh!te my mpg is without my DTUK box on and no Millers in the tank. On the way to Pulman for my first service after dropping the missus off at work, 23 mile trip, pretty restrained driving, 16C ambient temp.....46mpg indicated.

Is that mpg calculated by yourself? Or relying on the trip computer. Its just I've found the computer seems to inflate the mpg by around 5%

That's odd... the reflections put the taker exactly where one would expect the driver's head to be...

I don't know for certain... I've seen many things in my years of driving but I'm yet to see someone in a hatchback with a headcam on filming their dashboard... that's not to say it hasn't happened...

His passenger was probably sat behind him, whilst they were at Millbrook on a private road...

Another tank bites the dust - 47.5mpg; giving an average of 48.6 over 2300miles. (Not bad going for 3 weeks!).

3500 miles in and I managed an all time best of 63mpg on a 140 mile motorway shlep yesterday.

Seeing my normal daily MPG fall though. Guess it's down to the temperature getting lower.

In 16,018 miles I have averaged 47.26mpg with a best tank full of 54.13 and a worst of 31.41...

That's real life... not these single runs crawling along at 56mph, down hill, in the slipstream of a 48 tonne truck at 3 a.m.  :grin:

Worst tank - was that a lot of fun or stuck in horrendous traffic?

My best has also been about 54, going from Newcastle to Leeds and back taking care of about 40% of a tank of fuel doing an average of 57mpg for the 210 mile round trip. Don't think i've got less than 39mpg on a tank though, even when hammering it. I bet I never see 39mpg with the R on the best tank.
