Re: 307sw 1.6 hdi110, miles per gallon?

That's the method I use, too.

Now having the trip computer doesn't change my usual calculation method,
which showed me how the trip computer lied to me : last time re****ted an
avg
5.7L/100km (49MPG) when I calculated it as being 5.05 (56MPG).
Driving around Paris and suburbs I'm getting about 50-55MPG.

BTW, I use to drive with the instant fuel economy mode, and if I depress
the
throttle by a couple of mm the speed doesn't change but the fuel amount
drops... Just a trick to show how these "everytime turbocharged" engines
are
sensitive. Of course, during "basic" accelerations (i.e not really hard) I
can get over 10L/100 (28MPG) :-)
Worst figure I had was a very hard acceleration (2nd gear almost from
idle,
full load) which told me I was doing 27L/100 (10MPG). Still a bit scary
:-)

HTH,
