It's probably been covered before but how do you check that the multi rams are working?
No so easy on 2.6/3.2 due to electronic throttle. Basically, get someone to rev it from idle quite hard up to redline (blip, dont hold it there), and you should see them move.

Or, given your location, PM Marks DTM Calib...  ....although dont expect a response this weekend ;D

Thanks for all the responses and the realisation I am not the only one  :y

Right continuing to be sad (but not as bad as TheBoy with his books and spreadsheets and VB'd databases showing trends and price comparisons to OPEC oil barrel prices etc etc  ;D ;D ;D ;D) please dont take offence

First observation is that you six pot guys have better MPG than us 4 pot lowlife sorts. Ah well! thats what you get from having to work on them more often. Anyway arround 22 - 25 is the norm for a 4 pot

Just filled up on lpg again after having the LPG ecu "fettled" and now getting 17.5 calculated from the receipt. BUT . calculating the same milage, 172, with the number of gals on the MID get to 21.5 mpg which is the same as the MID average (so thats how it calc's it ???). Result getting what should it be ish. :y

Setting of for the Cote D'Azur  8-) on Friday with the tribe and filled to the gunnels with stuff so will report back on that trip.  :o

Would be nice if the was a maintenance guide on what to look for/do to get the best, or fix bad, MPG with us all having these guzzlers

As a footnote have just sold the previous meg (xreg) on fleabay for 1220 yet another result  :y (although he's not picked it up yet). :-/

Quite surprised driving down to North Devon from the Lakes last week - managed to get 31-32mpg over the 370 mile journey with 3 people, luggage, gas barbie and various camping accessories. Speed around 75-80. Seem to get better mpg using Shell fuelsaver fuel. :y

Mine liked Shell too. Texaco was it's favorite, 30 miles extra per tank and Asda was worst - 30 the other way.

Just looked at the trip on my Miggy after getting home. 1872 miles completed, used 56.3 gallons of fuel = 33.25mpg. I think that's quite good really  :) :) :) Especially when driving on the racing tracks ahem! Autobahns I mean and stretching Miggys legs, just a little  ;) ;) ;)
