Last £10 of optimax I only got 45 miles before I needed to fill up. This was purely short trips of 5miles or so up to the forest and back so not surprised really. Think the trip computer was reading 21 or 22mpg lol. On a run I usually average around 34mpg, that's on a 200 mile motorway trip averaging 80mph with the occasionally foot down moment.

These guys who are quoted 35mpg+ figures, I assume u reset the trip computer when you fill up then take the average reading from then on?? just find it hard to believe that some people are getting close to 40mpg especially the ones with remaps. Do you go over half throttle??

When I was looking into a remap I was told that if I drove sensibly the remap wouls actually improve my mpg lol

Don't disagree mate... just thinking this guy might only be geting 21mpg on a good drive and everyone that's posted has got re-maps and saying 39.. might worry him a bit.. that was all...
