Mine worked out 2 mpg too optomistic when I calculated it manually. That was only based on 1 tank and I guess it'd need a few more to make it a totally fair comparison. For 2 mpg I can't really be arsed!

My biggest concern is that I'm only getting 37 mpg (mixed driving) which is nowhere near BMW's figures. However, I guess their tests were on nice flat roads, not the hills around Halifax, and its still a lot better than I was getting from my ST170!

PS - I know what OBC stands for, but on the stalk its BIC (I think), what's that mean?
