Title: 2.5 manual miss daisy driving economy..
Post by: cem_devecioglu on 22 July 2011, 08:57:31
yep.. not "TheBoy's spirited driving" style and its boring actually but somehow the road computer  tells that it consumed 44.14 mpg in city traffic for 15 km's :o :o :o :o :o

it consumed less fuel than clit average ;D ;D ;D

but I doubt I can continue like that :P

I reckon I follow people like that to work every day.  I need some military hardware on the bonnet of the MV6 to clear 'obstacles'

now dont tell me the mid is donald after re-programming for manual.. the needle for fuel gauge seems to use the hand brake for a long time ;D :)

I did some spirited driving yesterday, no idea about economy, but I really must let some air out of the tyres (still high from the Lakes meet), its awfully skittish at 45psi ::)
