Re: 307sw 1.6 hdi110, miles per gallon?

Hi Lenny
I work the mpg by filling it up to the brim, setting the trip to zero, and
then next time I fill it up I make a note of the mileage on the trip. I
then
make a note of how many litres the pump says I have put in. I take off 5
miles for every 100 miles covered on the trip to allow for trip gauge and
speedo error.

litre to gallons                            4.546 litre = 1 gallon UK

I take it you are using UK gallons as your measurement and not the smaller
US gallon which is 3.785= 1 US Gallon
