Forget what MID says, what is the mpg (work out the old fashioned way)

Reset the MID and see what happens on your next trip. If i reset the MID whilst sitting in traffic it can show anything from 7.8mph on a long wait.

I just part-ex'd my 2.2 on Tuesday, but when I did the average fuel consumption was showing 28.8.  This had dropped from 30.2 over winter.

2.2 auto - average so far this winter (not from MID but calculated by me) 22mpg. Vast majority of that is town driving. So would say do your own MPG calculation on next tank and if it 12mpg you have an issue.

i feel somewhat relieved from the fact all the 2.2 drivers are saying 22mpg town driving. and im getting 19.5mpg round town from my 2.5v6.

i have actually swapped out my maf and MID instant cons. looks a lot healthier. going to do the brim to brim to see if its had any effect

the mid changes every second virtually... were you putting the engine under load (like going up hill, just starting off etc) when you took the piccy?
