Not bad then tbh. Autos in general at naff in town (dsg being the exception). 35 is probably about what the Volvo gets in town, which is why I never use it there  ;D. The trip computer thing is odd though. Is there any way to adjust/recalibrate it?  :-\
Don't know, Jimmy, but as it's the first and last time I'll bother looking, it really doesn't matter.  ;D

I found the read out of the Senator and the Omega to be pretty much accurate and the V70's while not as accurate is pretty much there or thereabouts.

On my new astra. Computer is telling me 41.8, brim to brim is telling me 36.9. That's quite a big fib.

I knew you'd be back moaning about the fuel economy.  Next you'll on about the road tax!  ::)

If you'd bought the black one....  :P  ;D

Must be filling up at your local Scouser Service Station where you get a US gallon and pay for a UK one. ::) ::) ::)

41.8 / 4.546 x 3.785 = 35.5 so not so far out after all. ;D ;D ;D
