What are you currently getting out of it?

10 litres of fuel gives me about 30 miles doing school runs every day.

That equates to 13.6 MPG,  that cant be right

About right for an auto in urban traffic.

Christ, I only managed 15mpg over an entire tank earlier in the week, and that was in open countryside

Thanks guys, the way I have been measuring is as soon as the fuel light comes on I set the trip meter to zero and put in 10 litres (not £10), then drive until the fuel light comes on again, I did this religiously for 2 weeks and it always measured in at 30 to 32 miles before the fuel light came on again.

How does that compare with the avg MPG on the Multi Information Display?  You can reset that at any time, it then calculates your avg MPG from then on.  Many here don't trust it but I have found the MID accurate  to under 1 mile on the range function, tested 3 or 4 times on two different migs.  If you don't trust it the fuel light will be no better, probably worse in fact, and brim to brim is the only way.
