Viewing: Do you watch your MPG

***waynne*** · 10-11-2009, 08:44 AM

Does your MPG bother you much now that fuel prices are very much on the UP?

Can you quote your average MPG to 2 decimal places?

acording to the trip computer its 34.2 normally show 33.?
not brimmed it to see how accurate it is

It's not far off actually! It's quite clever how it works it all out.

I don't keep an eye on it but I did look the other day and the computer said something like 37 or there abouts.

Not really but I should! But I do drive economically a day after I fill up. I seem to forget about this 2 days after fillup and get the nasty shock all over again a week later!

yes, though i certaintly cant quote it to two decimal places.

fourty-ish, if its less than that i check to see if its all working under the hood, it dropped to less than twenty once, but the black smoke from the exhaust had warned me somthing was wrong before the MPG drop.

I watch mine....

... plummet every-time I hit the go pedal.

**pgarner** · 10-11-2009, 09:35 PM

watched mine the night 29mpg mmm checked tyres 28 in the front after a 20 mile journey. pumped them back up to 34 (should settle around 30 when cold) see if it comes back up

Never, just add fuel when required. I'm not brave enough to want to know what the GTO is doing.

**pgarner** · 10-11-2009, 10:31 PM

whats is supposed to get ? mid 20s

**WLBjork** · 11-11-2009, 08:25 AM

Not religiously, but I do watch it.

Really keeping an eye on it at the moment as it seemed unusually low the other day - I'm talking less than 45 for a decent 20-ish mile run after 10pm with few holdups. Could just be that the fuel is still summery and not wintery.
