Lowest ever MPG reading

It will be burning fuel but not going anywhere.
How would it still read 0 lol
10 gallons per hour means it gets through 10 gallons of fuel an hour, regardless of whether the car is moving or not
Oh per hour. With you. Still....dependent on the implementation of the on board computer I guess (whether or not the display does change).
Unless my fuel gauge is dodgy
This is the most likely problem, along with a HGF for good measure
EDIT: Andy, OT but my xorst is arriving in a few weeks
EDIT AGAIN: If I can I'll get it and have it fitted intime for the 12th (unlikely but I'll try)
My car is magic on fuel, I swear.
I've been out hooning loads of times, one particular time I took my mate up the MM roads and after working it out, it came out at about ~20mpg.
Win.
Unless my fuel gauge is dodgy
same as me never got below 23 even with 7k rpm hoonages!

Some of you really suck at killing the planet!

Need more cylinders!
£15 of hooning gets your 50miles? Does your car run on fresh air?
I was quite impressed when you said that after the MM you had only done a quarter of a tank
That's nice. 60 miles costs me £25 driving carefully
About 8 years ago my dad used to drive what was then a 6 - 7 year old Jaguar XJS with a V12 engine. When you pressed the 'Sport' button and floored it, the digital (albeit inaccurate) MPG reading went down to 1, flickering between that and 0

This is a pretty crap thread as most people will post the lowest they've got on the instantaneous readout. Those that don't will lie to get internet cool points.
3mpg, over a sustained period of time, from a 2.5 V6? That's completely crap, the Lambourghini Mercialago got 3mpg whilst being caned by The Stig around the TG Test Track. If you honestly expect me to believe you've had a proper average of 3mpg then you can forget it.
The lowest I've got over a tank is 19.7mpg.
Edit: I've just read how you worked out your MPG. As I suspceted then, completely ridiculous and not at all accurate. You can't measure fuel consumption based on how many miles you can do between the light coming on.
