Economy stats ?

[DKZ5745]

I keep trying to explain to the OH that the tank on the Z is much smaller than the last car (Megane CC) which is why we have to fill up more often, and that we are actually getting far more mpg than we did before.

Yet, every time I say I am calling at the garage, I get “again !!! We never filled up that often in our old car” :brickwall: :brickwall: :brickwall:

I completely ignore what the car thinks it's doing.
I fill it up, empty it out, fill it up then work out the mpg from there.
I've run it around locally showing 0 mile range at least once or twice and never run out.

It will never show 0 mile range...
Below 30 km it will go to ---
I get that quite often.
I keep track of actual liters tanked and km driven and the trip computer is slightly optimistic.
So when it says 5.4 it usually is 5.5, but that's still within the error margin I suppose...

Talking of the computer inconsistencies;
In my mpg log (page 1) I am averaging 41mpg, but the computer always overestimates at about 44/45mpg.

Does anyone know if it is possible to recalibrate it?

Think all RCZ's have 55 litres in tank size.

Just took a snap of trip 1, which I reset before my first long run in La Gata Negra to Madrid and back to be in a slightly cooler spot!
About 400kms Autovia (Motorway) cruising at 120+; 100kms single carriageway A type roads; rest in town.
