Remember the computer can be wildly inaccurate. Unless you own a tech2, and spend ages manually calculating the real mpg, and reprogramming computer with the real mpg.....

Well I get mid to high teens but I do drive hard - like that V6 sound, still costs £22 for 200 miles

That is damn good for a 3.0...in only getting 32 out of a bloody diesel.

*** How to get great fuel consumption figures ***

Start car.

Drive to the top of a very steep hill.

Speed downhil in D (auto box) with accelerator to the nail.

Quickly shift to N (auto box) without slowing down, then take foot off accelerator.

Reset avergae fuel consumption display on MID while maintaing (or increasing) downhill speed.

Take picture of avergae fuel consumption on MID with mobile phone camera while not slowing down and not hitting anything (tricky!).

Stop everything, post picture in forum and brag.
