You must have been driving in your socks, hail the light footed one!!

Your passenger did a great job leaning over to do the video, as you would not have been able to drive and record that at the same time would you...

The link works. I wasn't really sure what is the point regarding MPG but at list I liked the music. However, I did noticed that you drive on the wrong side of the road. That might be hazards to your health.


Just kidding mate,

Cheers

I don't get this at all.
550m on one tank ? Not impossible at all.
But looking at the video( very unclear I'm sorry to say) of your trip computer, shows about 185 miles so far travelled and about 210 miles left in tank. I'm assuming the trip computer was reset last time you filled up.

To me that works out to less than 400 miles. Perhaps I'm missing something.

Or are you just showing how you drive with your foot off the accelerator all the time ( letting the econometer stay on the left ).

BTW 550 miles out of a 70 litre tank is approx 35 mpg - If you get that driving around town then I'm impressed. On a long motorway run though even I can achieve that in my 535d (with very sedate driving).

You must have a feather for your right foot... Antyway... I dun see the point to get that much mileage from my E60.. its the 'ultimate driving machine' not the 'ultimate sipping machine'

If my calculations are correct about 480 miles out of a 70litre tank is about 35mpg......what calculation do you use for your above statement out of interest?
