Ignore the trip comp, it's as useless as a chocolate teapot.
Reality for me, 95% cruising at 60mph on CC. Planet saved.

Exactly the same method and App as DSL, over 4,645 miles, driven gently, mostly hilly areas, combination of dual carriageways, A & B roads and country lanes (about 1/3rd each) and 26.61 mpg.
I was happy with that
MPG computer around 8-10% optimistic!
PS: FF SDV8, by comparison, is at 25.22 mpg over nearly 6 months / 16,345 miles.2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8
2023 to date: FL2 as a second car
2021 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200
2022 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200 & sidecar!

Keeping track of mpg is very, very useful. It tells you when something has gone PT.

That’s a deeply impressive level of dedication to the cause!
It’s interesting how it gradually got better over the time you had it.2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2

And that doesn't many, many thousand miles of overseas fuel where I didn't put the cost in. That would have added a good bit to that. They do help keep us poor.
