On board computer thing says I've averaged 38.2 mpg over the last 2500 miles. I reset it on 3rd Jan 2008 (so 2500 miles since then!). That's not bad for a remapped car with 190 plus bhp. It also concurs with my own calcuations. OK, Pug official figures suggest I can do better. But, how accurate are official figures. Or, how how official are accurate figures.

It's down to driving style and methods. I adopt a 'get on with it' approach. I'm sure my Dad could wring 50mpg from it, but it would take years to complete a journey.
