I wonder how likely it is that anyone who has already posted in this thread will be bothered to use a calculator to convert that?

Given there is a mixture of Imperial and US gallons already, not very high.

So that's something you could've done for the earlier posters.

If YOU could've been bothered.

Being BOTHERED was the point.

And the reason it's "best" is?

I guess because it's last.

So long as you're happy.

Personally I like it here... at the top of the page...

I get about 14mpg, which should be considered as very bad fuel consumption too.

Okay, I have reset the ODC mpg over the weekend and is returning around 17mpg in city driving without much traffic. But I am still shock to find how bad it is when it is sitting in traffic. This is still only the same as what I got with a X5 3.0i. I'll let it run for a couple more weeks and see.
