    Sorry to hear your father isn't improving as rapidly as you hoped, not sure what to suggest other than for him to be out driving as soon as possible. Personally I still get nervous with icy conditions some 17yrs after my major accident on black ice, so it may be a case of helping him to manage the concerns rather than to get over them if you get my meaning :A

    Stuart, car speedometers almost always overstate the speed to ensure manufacturers are not blamed for causing sppeding offences. Therefore, mileages will never be spot on either and consequentially MPG's. Should only be used as a rough guide.

    I agree that's why my spreadsheet is about to be updated having fueled today :D but most people refer to the in-car data when discussing the economy they get and it is surprising how this value is better than the reality if it is a mere "feature" which cannot be accounted for with accurate system, it should I guess also lead to cars which under declare economy too...;)
