Maybe your computer tells the truth rather than the optimistic trip computer fitted to most

No, well very little, chance. 15mpg around town is not bad going, I've seen 11mpg just doing local trips.

I managed 6 miles and used 1.5 gallons the other night in mine , better than a few years ago when I used my v8 90 and used 6 gallons in 6 miles
But I was towing father christmas around the village in low range first gear for 3 1/2 hours
I felt so guilty that all the people collecting money were so cold I had my windows open in sympathy ( I didn't tell them I had my heated seat on though )
