Remaps supposedly improve MPG but I'm voting more on it being a regular occurence

Davey that's actually shocking?? Like not normal
I'm driving a bit more efficiently now I'm out of the initial 'omfg it's fast' phase. It sits at about 35mpg on a motorway in 6th at 70mph. Getting up to speed though it still dips to about 14mpg as much as I try and make it not. Sod running 5litre vehicles!

about 270 can never get more than 270 out of a tank before the red comes on - so I'd guess theres what about 30miles in reserve? I've gone into proper granny driving mode this week, determined to beat it, 249miles so far and just gone below the last marker before the red
red light came on and got to 264miles and thought need petrol in morning lol hate this car sometimes

yes, if it's the same as the focus, you need to hold down the button which you use to navigate through the onboard computer, when it's on the averape mpg screen, until it resets itself.

My pug does 40MPG all day long doing 80 / 90.
45MPG if i drive like a normal person
Although, i average using about £2.50 a week now
Things are soon to change though i've been advised. Pay rise = vans gone
That £500 in my ISA needs adding to quite quickly Totally skint after buying my flat...

Yeah I bet. I will put my foot down every now and again but compared to the first few days I was just doing it everywhere and quite frankly I'd lose my licence if I drove that way all the time Wait till you hear it if you ever go Lakeside or anything quote:

True true, I agree, my bank account doesn't
Been driving it respectabally and it's actually not overly bad on fuel considering what it is. I did however find out it is indeed limited tonight whilst doing 7mpg

In my zafira I can get it down to 7.2mpg but in the last 400miles it's average is 25 and that's around town etc but it's usually around 19 if I I drive it more than the missus does. on a run it will do 33mpg but that's using cc
