only recently inherited mums car, when I find some time, some photos and an egggnog to follow, but last three tanks have given following mpgs
Nissan Micra 1.3 GX 37.26 mpg 37.98 mpg 38.16 mpg and its not sedentary driving either, plenty of aggressive acceleration thrown in, so not bad!! main tip i learnt from last fulltank, dont go crazy with the throttle when engine is cold - once its warmed up, which takes all of 3 mins, then by all means go nuts!!!

well my '98 rover 414i, thats the 16v twin cam btw (proud) has a faulty fuel needle meaning that it goes form half a tank to empty so i a.) can't work out the mileage and b.) haven't got the balls to see how low it'll go, that and i'm really lazy. but doing 90mph down the M5 on the way back from the girlfriend's in Newport does seem to drink more than on the way up. don't know why?!? I only have a 2 mile drive to work (again with the lazyness) but i do a lot of motorway miles seeing my girl so i will work it out sometime soon.

you don't need the fuel gauge to establish your mileage. Just write down when you refueled and calculate the number of miles driven at your next fuel stop.
