Mpg Trip Comp

[Neel-Cupra]

hello people ..

Jus been noticing the last couple of days that my trip comp has been showing that im averaging 19.3 MPG!! does anyone know what it could be? has a sensor gone or something? I have had a dynatwist installed on saturday if this has anything to do with it .. any help welcome

have you tried resetting it, hold the button under the wiper stalk until it resets to 0. i find if you drive hard, it kind of remembers and never reads good again!

I dont watch it though, going up a hill, i loose 17mpg by moving my foot that little bit more! i fill it up, and live

 

[Neel-Cupra]

yeah tried that .. it reads an average of 24-25 in town driving and has done since i got the car .. but recently it reads 19-20! i do do alot of stop/start driving aswell cos my works only 3 miles from home ..

Think youve got a heavy right foot, lol, mines remmaped etc etc and im getting around 23-24 mpg and it gets its fair share of hammering, but id have to seriously be giving it some to get it to an average of 18-19.

Am i the only one that gets between 30-33mpg and thats town driving most of the time

 

[minxycov]

YEah u are - i get anywhere between 10 and 18 mpg - and about 24/25 on motorways...and my car is standard

 

[JKing]

most I've ever got was 38!!!! that was a run to brighton, 70-80 all the way on the motorway though.

I usually average between 28-32 and around 23-26 if my right foot gets heavy

 

[tackleberry]

owned the car 10 months and ive never seen above 28

 

[claudefrog]

i get about 29 - 31 most weeks

 

[RobertW]

fookin hell,mines remapped etc and average 33mpg most of the time town driving.

In saying that i dont have a heavy right foot,just occasionally

Count yourself lucky that you have a computer that tells you that. Mine doesnt even work, or isnt even fitted.

I tend to get around 28 - 30mpg on average, best i've ever had was just over 37mpg on a motorway journey

Well normally i work about 3 miles away and get about 24 mpg, but recently working around 22 miles away in notts travelling down M1 every morning at 70-80 and im getting around 35mpg!! They are good until you boot them!!!

...you have the stalk switches? If moving the switch does nothing, you /probably/ have the wrong radio.. ..has it ever been replaced? It's very easy for the garage to order the wrong model that looks correct and fits and works.. except for the MPG/temperature computer functions.

Yeah i have the slider, doesnt do anything tho. I know for a fact that the radio is the wrong one for the car now coz the part number doesnt match up with jonzy's one. How much are they?

Mine was done under warranty a year ago I'm afraid. More than £100 is all I remember the garage saying. I could live without the radio, I find the MPG average useful for predicting stops for petrol
