Default What MPG are you getting?
Just wondered what MPG you are all getting at the moment. The colder weather has taken my average down from 37 to 35 mpg. Incidentally if I run my tank to empty (rather that top up at 1/4 full) the mpg average is 1 mpg higher - I guess the lower weight might have a bearing on that.

Try the our MPG calculator if you are not sure.

That "Lee" was getting 20-25mpg, the bus got 18-20mpg, not sure about the Volvo as I've not really driven it yet.
