On the way to visiting my friend www.Icemode.com. Whilst driving along on the motorway I was curious to know what would the highest MPG I could achieve.I managed to get upto 47.9mpg can anyone beat that? I already know my lowest 16.9mpg on a particular day that I woke up late for work! |

I think 38-39 was the highest I ever got, it's mainly around 30 iirc and that's with me gunning it everywhere!
16.9mpg sounds too low for a car like ours :?.

underneath the little display is a button, just hold it in for a sec and it resets the mpg and trip.

How many miles are you guys able to usually cover with one tank? Fuel light is usually on by 280 miles on mine, it can reach around 290 something before I really have to refuel. This normal?
