playing a new game

by tazz666 » Sun Jul 18, 2010 1:42 pm

since i have had the trip computer reprogrammed to my cars spec ,i have been trying to see how high i can get my avarage fuel consumption on an urban drive ,ie around town ,dropping the misses off at work , and today i managed to get it to 27.9 miles per gallon im impressed with that.
I know it may be a bit childish but there is a lot of concentration in doing it , but then again i can also make it drop right down to 13/15mpg
so what is the best that yous have had? 8)

I once averaged about 31 for about 2 weeks but i must say it felt embarrassing driving like an old man in an SE2, oh wait i am an old man in an SE2
