Post your trip counter average MPG readouts...

[gamefreaks]

Have we played this game before?

No cheating. Must be an average readout not an instantaneous readout!

I'll start us off nice and high. (This is an average over about 5000 miles.



Every time I drive, I get the warm fuzzy feeling that I'm making my contribution to Pastor Maldonado's next crash!

When you can smell the petrol in the air, you know your MPG is low!

How accurate is the 530d's consumption compared to the gauge?

My M5 is less than that, but can't get a pic til the weekend

Will get mine up tomorrow if I remember, over the last 1500 miles it's somewhere around 23mpg which isn't too bad.

My sthole Avensis, when not deriding me for having desire for life, eeks about 46 miles to every gallon of greasy poison.

Very nice, but your watch is on the wrong hand

[Whistle]

163 miles from Oxford to Wigan, 2.0 mondeo diesel.

God knows why it's ended up on its side.

Fiat Doblo, 1.9JTD. Fiat Ugly design, no attempt at aero, excellent for house DIY, and bike carrying. Sense of humour on the styling is needed though.

Official figures are around 48mpg



However this is a car from 2004 when the manufacturers didn't make numbers up quite as well as they do now.
My Dad has the later model which claim 60mpg and doesn't achieve 40mpg.

I think you'll find it's on the right hand.
