Hi, thanks yes he's cute!
WTF... why is my mileage so bad?
Hey tomwid, handsome dog BTW, I have the same set up 100 % city driving and I get a touch over 17 MPG, and that's with my typical DS joint from time to time, I justcan't help myself.

On my last tank of gas, I barely got 313 miles as the light was on for a good while. The OBC says 19.6mpg, but that's certainly off.
I usually fill up and calculate my mpg, but I just put 10 dollars in this time. At $3.03 per gallon, I'd rather go to costco in the morning.

27.9 - 28.2 straight off the computer. 530D with ac on and a mix of driving. Most national sped limits around me, interspaced with roundabouts. Also fair amount of motorway driving- about 60/40.
Odo at 10500 miles, and havent reset for about 8000 miles.
(thats uk MPG)

The computer says 22.6mpg for 60/40 highway/local roads. At one point I thought I was getting around 26+ mpg BUT found out one day that I was using Imperial gallons instead of US.
