not a patch on my old Lex LS (sniff)

You went from a Lexus LS to an i30? Now that is fking rough

I know - but believe it or not it was by choice. Just needed a A-B car to do 30k a year that wasn't going to cost me a fortune. With hindsight maybe not the best move. Would get another Lex in a heartbeat, but I plan on screwing the i30 all the way till the end of its very good warranty.



Lex was based on ECU - so the gauge used to go down even on LPG, then every now and then it would reset itself.

My gauge has 12 segments. I did give it a serious fill up though. Longest I've done on a tank is 660miles, with computer saying range of 80 still left. but didn't want to risk having to fill up on silly motorway prices so filled early when I had the chance.

Still - can't grumble at Halifax to London return 422 miles for £35ish

I hate these new electronic bar things. What was wrong with a good old needle??

Risk of stick injury?
