To be fair I have only ever checked the fuel consumption once. I had a 370 mile round trip to Glostershire to pick up a front bumper from another member. I filled up until the pump clicked off at my local garage, set off to the motorway which is only a couple of miles from my house. Just about all of the trip was on a flat motorway with very little traffic. I set the cruise to 70 and just let it do its thing. As soon as I returned home in mid-afternoon, I filled up at the same pump at the same garage. It equated to just about 60 MPG.
As I said, this was the only time I have ever checked it as basically I don't care what it does to the gallon. The opportunity just presented itself.
I don't know what others do to the gallon, I just know that on that day, with the milage that my odometer clocked, and the fuel it used equated to 60 MPG. Bear in mind, it was not a very scientific test
Perhaps mine is a rather special one lol, or Big Russ did a particularly good job of the 160 remap on my car, who knows!
