    Car trip computers often lie.

    Indeed they do. Going by a brim to brim MPG comparison, my trip computer shows an extra 2MPG over reality so about 3-4% high.

    Mines pretty good at the minute 25mpg, been nursing it a bit and driving like a loser, so it's up, but it'll probabley go back to 19-21 when I start giving it a good drive.

    Wow, thats bad. On a 450 mile round trip to Bristol 50% loaded at 44 tonne GVW and returning empty at 14 tonnes, I got 12MPG out of a Scania with a 14 litre V8.

    Not bad for a 2.5L turbo'd hot hatch which is great fun to drive :D I didn't buy it for fuel economy, I bought it for fun :cheesy:
  • I average 56 MPG from my Mondeo Estate (2.0 TDCi 130PS) but recently with Millers Diesel Additive it's been 58 MPG. Although it's not really worth paying for the additive for an extra 2 MPG!
