You didn't say what fuel you were using ie price/litre!
A very simple calculation will show that equates to 17.6 mpg using V-Power at 136.9/litre
If you are using the performance then yes, that's ok. If you're just poodling around you should see 23-24 mpg

Fill it up top the brim and reset the trip meter and see what return you get from a full tank
You aint really doing a long enough journey to work to see a better fuel return mate tbh, i used to do 40+miles aday and would get 300 miles from a full tank Also what do you do in the mornings ie just start and drive or do you leave it ticking over to warm up?

Hi Craig - no probs with checking it out on the dyno with you but the issue is the 7 mile trips where the car is hardly warmed up and still in overfueling when cold mode. There were no issues with the fueling on the closed loop side of things with it last week when I checked it out with you then.
As said above - try filling the tank and running it to empty (will still do 40 miles once yellow light is on) as the movement on the gauge is very erratic and impossible to judge a fuel economy from.

I agree with the above, if your town driving forget it, Motorway then its good.

i has 1 notch above half left
