0 to 85mph good but 0 to 30mph awlsome =20mpg on average

Right the only true way to do it is to run ya landy out of fuel ( YES I KNOW ) then top it up to the hilt (FULL). Then hit ya trip counter to Zero. Then run it out of fuel again. Work it out from the Fuel you put in and the Miles you have done. What alot of ppl do is fill it up and run it to empty on the fuel guage then work it out. This way you are not getting all of the fuel you put in. A landy may run for another 30 to 50 miles on empty. So when you say you are getting 23mpg you are more than likley to be getting alot more. I have changed to proper Bio Diesel now from the pump at 88p a liter and my landy is alot better. I am getting about and extra 7mpg.

Not the only way :roll: :roll: This is the way most people do mpg calcs and it's correct.
No matter what fuel in the tank you fill it up. Reset the trip.
Drive a while :wink: Re-fuel it up to the top. Make a note of how many litres you put in. Divide the number of miles by number of litres to give miles per litre. Then mutliply by 4.54. You then have mpg.
Problem with this is the odometre being out by a %. Way to get around this is to calibrate your odometre with a GPS which is more accurate and use this factor on your miles before doing the above.
Cheers

Miniman:
Yep or even use ya GPS on a long drive and use it to tell ya how many miles ya have done. Good thinking that man....

I have only a vague idea of what the LSE does becuase LPG varies so much in volume. Sometimes I can do 115 miles for about £10, another time it costs twice that :( .
