I drive my car once a week if that. But it seldom reaches 25mpg

I too dream of 20+ mpg, next time I'll buy the slow small engined diesel, maybe

Hi, it takes me a year to cover 5k miles. BRB

I'll post here to remind myself to have a look at the 2nd clock. Not sure what it resets at, so hopefully won't be far off 5k.

30mpg

34.2mpg over ~54k miles

It's a nearly 2 year old M135i.

You can get 35 out of yours on a run.

So I have to reset my miley thing and then drive for 5000 miles to play?

Not playin.

Does this count? OBC Readout which I haven't reset since getting the car, 11.5k miles so far. The trip resets every trip but that's different, this is my overall average.

330e.

Why, when trip computers aren't that accurate? Will posting a screenshot of an economy tracker app not suffice? Not to mention I'm reset every tank fill up.

Fantastic cars

I reset on every refill, so no chance to take part.

However, my VW trip computers consistently come out around 2 mpg better than my tank to tank figures.

OP should be banned for most stupidist thread requirements ever.

OP: "Hey internet, reset your trip counters today, go and drive 5000 miles and then post your MPG from your completely woefully inaccurate ODB".

Everyone:......... :rolleyes:

I'd travel 5000 miles and one of 3 things would happen.

1. A year would pass
2. I'd forget to reply
3. This thread will be on page 50

Why would you have to reset it? Leave it alone until you get to 5000+ miles.

Need to stick with pics of trip computer otherwise I wouldn't be doing anything else except from updating the table.

You would be really stupid if you reset your counter

He has, that is the idrive readout that a 330e gives.

very impressive cars actually.

Not many people are going to have 5k miles stacked up on a trip, so lets just ignore the OP's requirements

Because I want to fix the result to win internet points.
