Re: A Eureka Moment on MPG...

I tend to ignore what others think of what I'm interested in. They're my interests after all. I suspect you may have some interests that I haven't the smallest interest in 🙂. To be honest I'm doing so few miles that I've started to put Shell V in and am flooring it. Just need to get a furry dice and...

Re: A Eureka Moment on MPG...

Average of averages. That's like saying a circle is really a straight line because each tangent is a straight line. You have to start somewhere! You could, forgive the pun, keep going in circles arguing the various points in the system. I'd much rather rely on a system that's actually based on what ...

Re: A Eureka Moment on MPG...

Over time it would average itself out to be negligible. I use a free tool called FUELLY for measuring fuel economy (see the banner in my signature) that I have used for years and years and for well over 1 million miles which is really useful at giving you real world stats (not just what the car thi...

Re: A Eureka Moment on MPG...

How are you calculating brim to brim when you can't see the level. The spout goes through two flaps. Surely you aren't relying on the auto pump cutoff to determine its full. This would be very unreliable. Over time it would average itself out to be negligible. I use a free tool called FUELLY for me...

Re: A Eureka Moment on MPG...

How are you calculating brim to brim when you can't see the level. The spout goes through two flaps. Surely you aren't relying on the auto pump cutoff to determine it's full. This would be very unreliable. If you have degrees C on the screen then your car is set to imperial. Degrees F then you are U...

Re: Brake-by-wire question...

See my comment about MPG in another thread... Wait until you calculate brim-to-brim consumption.... I have got used to the braking now, didn't take long, but I haven't yet noticed the electric motor kicking in at take away or creeping through traffic... From you signature it appears you have the B4...
