Fuel and MPG

Post by stephens_0n »

just a quick question, first time i have filled up today in the mk7 ztetc s tdci 61 plate and the reader shows 372 miles. This cannot be correct? The car has done just under 7k miles.

Thanks.

What's your driving style and type of journey?
The cold also has an affect on diesels.

Do you reset your MPG everytime? I would also use the brim to brim test to work out your true MPG.
