Until I got the Scangauge I was averaging around 30. It's helped me get to the nearest garage a few times. Great knowing how many litres you have left. :eek:

Specially if your found of driving around on the fuel light which for some reason a lot of irish people are. I don't get that at all I just fill up when I get to 1/4 or so.

toastedpickles wrote: » It's amazing, I've something like 8 options on it, half of which are totally pointless, but none the less cool
Stheno wrote: » Eh what? OHs 2000 merc has mpg on current journey, range of tank, it updates constantly, and it's about six other options, it's quite cool. It's very useful on long trips
toastedpickles wrote: » Its a funny thing on mine, the "more economical" you drive, the quicker it goes down, say at 100/110 kph, but if you fly along, 130/140kph, it barely changes
Stheno wrote: » The one on the merc seems to be dead accurate tbh used it a few times on trips from poxy letterkenny.

Stheno wrote: » The merc has all of those. The alarm is usually about defective bits It also has a service countdown thing I tend only to look at the range, the rest of it would make your eyes bleed
toastedpickles wrote: » I hate the alarm on mine, I relate it to everything critical on the car, which can go bad haha
Stheno wrote: » On the merc, it regularly bleats about the esp one day, then shuts up for about a month. THis is due to me hitting the esp button instead of the open the passenger window button. Used give the OH a heart attack
toastedpickles wrote: » The worst one in mine is, the low oil pressure warning sound is the same as the low washer fluid, scares the life out of me every single time, flying along the road and next thing it goes off, my first thought, ah crap!!...oh wait, damn :pac:
Stheno wrote: » Thankfully there are no sounds on the merc, just flashing warnings. Sounds would give him a heart attack In other news, I'm loving my car after it's mega service, still a couple of niggles to sort out, but no plans to change anytime soon. And mega thanks to the other alfisti on here who have helped out
