    Lol, it certainly is telling porkies, just realised that. And happy with the 56.75 mpg, more economical than my old audi 2.0 tdi 140bhp.

    Be careful with the stop/start if the motorway is highly congested as the ERG valve tends to get sticky with it and the coil light comes on with a loss of power. Just need to switch it off and on again to get it back to normal, but it's best to switch stop/start off. It's happened twice now- once in a 1h queue on the M25 and the other on a 40 minute commute of the Heathrow spur.

    Have had my 1.9 REVO mapped for 5k miles now and now always see 66+ on the DIS on my daily jaunt. I don't hang about, I use the power when needed and will blow the cobwebs out every few days.

    Using cruise at 70mph and appreciating the low down torque see's figures like this without effort;



    From this Sunday I will now monitor tank MPG as I had a sticking caliper replaced today along with pads and discs all round so there won't be the same drag that the caliper was causing so expecting initial MPG to rise again.
