I honestly don't understand what real use an instant mpg-o-meter is?
I look at my average out of interest when I'm about to fill up but I honestly never look at the instant readout. I even turned my daft "eco" lights off on the dash as they annoyed me (civic)
I`m sure when we hired the aforementioned Ford Ka in Shetland it helped me get an even better mpg. I like to think I drive pretty smoothly and use a lot of anticipation (I consider I`ve failed if I ever have to brake on the motorway.....) but that little readout just took it to another level. I wasn`t going flat out but we weren`t dawdling either, yet we got 57mpg on the equivalent of B roads.
