Trip Computer
« on: 05 June 2008, 19:51:47 »
Took my new 2.6 V6 manual on a long run to Wales (400 miles). Tried to drive economically most of the time - 5th gear wherever possible, little overtaking, although was over 100mph several times on the motorway, 115mph at one point.

Check the trip on the way back, it said 32.6 (is that good?)

Anyone know how accurate the trip computer figures are? ::)

Sounds ok to me matey, based on what you wrote, if you had been really trying you wouldnt have gone above 60/75 at all, so that is bloody excellent.   :y :y

32mpg ain't that good for a 2.6 manual on a gentle run - I'd expect way over 35mpg.  Obviously, depends on you definition of gentle, and the road conditions...
