Allreet, no other fecker has answered this point, so here goes:
<snip>
Overall got 385miles with 15 miles to go on the Fuel trip.
Took 51 Litres to fill her back up
<snip>
Another thing I've noticed is that I'm usually getting the computer to add up to 400 miles
e.g
Fill the Tank up and reset...(comp shows 360 - 410?)
Drive a while and that figure will level out to around 380
When the trip comp shows 100miles, usually 300 miles left
When the trip comp shows 200miles, usually 200 miles left and so on...
I do drive smoothly but I also, once in a while, put my foot to the floor, good to let the car know what it was designed for!
Righty, the fuel "range" in the trip 'puter works by calculating only the last 20-30 miles of "useage". So if you wait until the fuel warning pings, and drive a few more miles before finding a filling station with the correct brew, you will naturally find yourself "backing off" and driving more economically (to prevent running dry in your quest for V-Power or Tesco 99).
When you eventually fill up, the puter now knows you have a full tank, and calculates the range based on your "good boy" economical style. However, when "normal service resumes", ie pedal to the metal, the range will start to recalculate downwards at a more rapid rate.
