Ah, the lie o meter. Take 10% off and you'll be closer. The only way to check is filling brim to brim and doing the mileage calculation.

Glad you're enjoying it though. Thumbs Up

Get the offset adjusted in the CCF to about -6%, then make a judgement.
As above, the car cannot be trusted for mpg readings. The only way is as stated by filling up and measuring mileage.

You can do that in the D4, don’t think you can do it in the D3. At least I never figured out how. Confused

Miles divided by litres, times 4.55, then knock of 10 percent and you will be pretty much spot on, full tank to full tank.

Why knock off 10%? Miles/ltrs x 4.55 is bang on. Confused

I just use it for fuel, putting in all the costs is just too scary. Some things you just don’t want to know. Whistle

Dee as of today:



PS Though it looks like I did put some expenses in. Shocked Shocked

You cannot do that in a D3.

I’ve got mine at max compensation on the D4, it’s still over reading by a couple of mpg. If trip says 35 I’m generally looking at 32.
