MPG Check

The Bishop Basher · 2012-02-19 19:33:52

Just wondering if I'm getting what I should be.... 06 remapped 535D. I do a lot of mixed driving and normally get about 25mpg. Drove 300 miles over the last week and reset the computer to check. 2 straight runs with little or no traffic and the best I got was 31mpg. I expected nearer 40mpg. Are these figures normal or…

Are these figures normal or should I be looking for a problem ?

Yeah it was. Hadn't thought of that. The clan don't travel light.

Good to know the figures are normal.

Cheers.

Are you going by the computer or doing the math on your litres consumed? I find my 520 shows a couple of mpg lower than I actually get. I use an app called FuelLog to track. On my last fill the computer was out by 4mpg

Going by the computer. I know it's not all that accurate but just using it as a guideline.
