MPG up
« on: 19 April 2010, 15:14:56 »
Notices on my run to and from Cov that the mpg was much better at one point with it set to 65mph it was up to 35mpg. 8-). Even with a bit of sports mode fun on the way home it was still at 32pmg.

Would this be in part to the warmer weather we are having

Warmer air = better fuel vapourisation, but I wouldn't take too much notice of what the computer says the car is returning in the MPG stakes.

I know violence isn't the answer, I got it wrong on purpose.

Agreed. Best to brim the tank, run then brim again and calculate from mileage vs. litres :y

MID fuel computer can be adjusted with tech2, mine has proven quite reliable (on petrol), its only been 0.5 mpg out compared to manual calculations
