MrSloanes Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Kam has many cars.MPG fluctuates.You can sit in traffic and literally just watch as the numbers go down. lol MPG fluctuates but not the amount of petrol u got in by looks of it lol! exactly like mine, rarely past the first notch haha. id rather go to petrol station 5 times in a week than fill right up... no idea why tbf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 It likes ten quid a day.If I do more than £20 miles it gets another ten quid.Today I have put £15 in, however I have also given it back to Kam so that he can enjoy the petrol garage times.I reckon tomorrow is going to be a £20 day for him. He put £10 in it earlier too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisnicol Posted August 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 I used to spend that every day with my Honda Integra, that was thirsty. Anyone have any experience with a scan gauge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James827 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Unortunately you wont replicate that for the other 3/4!even in the Diesel I can relate to this. from the brim its okay for about 120 miles mixed cycle then the gauge Flys through the first half (100 miles?) and then slows up during the last half.
