A new land speed record

I don't think I should overtake another arctic on the windy stretch of road again doing 100ish. too many people have been through the fences either side

Lol! its all good tho. you got a heavy right foot?

U lot  seem to be gettin a decent mpg. See i'm trying to work out if i have a prob or not? Doing that 'divide 282.5' by the MFA reading i'm only gettin 25 - 27mpg, worse sometimes!  I do  drive relatively hard, so i expect to get 30mpg,  but 35+ would be great for the bank ballance!   I've re-read the hand book and still cannot make much sense of this MFA reading. It never goes below 10.0, not even on a mellow drive to the shops.  I live out in the wilderness so i'm never stuck in traffic.  Also on a long motorway run, cruising at 80mph, it gives the harsh reading of 13.0+ !!   Divide 282.5 that by and you get 21.7 MILES PER GALLON !!!!!!!   Any ideas?

[Veedubgt18v]

i dont have to divide anything im not sure what that is all about. mine just says it on the mfa

[workhorse '90 8v]

now thats what i need to hear!  my car looks exactly the same as yours, only 3 door.  Mine's a 1990.  Yours?  I just gotta work out how to get the MFA t o give  a MPG reading rather than this 11.3ish figure.  Maybe someone out there knows what the hell i'm on about?!?  

[Veedubgt18v]

mines a 92 J reg, i dunno what 11.3 ish is sounds like mpg. i dont divide mine or anything it just says 30.9 or 33.5 or something depends how im drivin etc. maybe your mfa is faulty or something?

[workhorse '90 8v]

Not sure it's faulty, cuz it seems to do what the manual sez it should.  Need to find someone with a 1990 model.  You keen on the 5 door ?  I prefer a 3 to be honest, no offence of course.
