good point that , does the computer readout continually monitor the consumption ie if you go for a 10 mile wipe out , will it show a reduced figure ? I know there is another one on there I think it is constant reading , I know that drops if you engage sports made and drive hard ? I am sure one of the tech guys will know  :y

It averages since you last reset, so the longer that is, the more miss daisy / bo duke you need to influence it.

Omg !!!!!!!!!!! :o

Thought I had a rubbish fuel consumption until I looked at some of yours...

Around town mines averaging between 23mpg and 26mpg and on a motorway run shes averaging 34mpg to 38mpg, again all dependant on my right foot

The only time I dont get the above, if a floor it every where in sports mode, but then its fun to blow the carbs out once in a while ;D

According to computer, I am currently getting 26.3mpg over the last 500 miles from my 3.0l auto.

Over short distances (ie, less than 20m) I have been known to average single figures ::)

I had a weekend away in the lake district and did just over 600 miles in the 3 days shows an Ave. of 34.2 most of it was motorway driving with cruise on 75 in eco mode so not bad for 3.0 . I had rover 75 diesel before that and got bout 48 on a m way run and before that rover 75 2.0 v6 and got bout 34 so the 3.0 is very good when you consider that.
