should i even bother to post?

it's been covered and proven before that mpg figures in cars are inaccurate to the extent they cannot be believed by a motors section on OcUK

They are simply as accurate as the measurement. Topping up the tank and measuring miles and the amount to fill the tank again should give figures as accurate as required.

Why do you think they are so inaccurate?

He's got the hump becuase he is the guy who claimed to get 70mpg from an Escort diesel and nobody would believe him.

Maybe he means on the instant readout. If I nail it in second I can get single figures.
