When there’s only 10 litres left the gauge says ‘Refill’. So how are people stating what mileage they are getting per tank?! Am I missing a trick? When are people filling up?I worked our my first (running in) tank got me 280 miles! I hope that doesn’t happen too often or you’ll think I’m not trying.Ian [image]http://www.exiges.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/smile.gif[/image]

Use car, & fill up to brim again when required. Make a note of miles covered since 1. above, & also how much fuel was needed to refill. You can then calculate the mpg (after converting petrol used from litres to gallons).Can’t tell you accurately what mpg I get, it’s not something which concerns me greatly, but don’t tell the tree huggers [image]http://www.exiges.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/wink.gif[/image] [This message has been edited by Pesky (edited 10 December 2001).]
