| GP T-Jet Owner  |  MPG Read Out Hi all I was drivin about this evening and had the mpg reading thing up on the dash, altho for some reason it kept giving really high readings, like even under hard acceleration it was reading 30-35mpg which is so not right. Has anyone else had this problem or have any ideas what it could be, ive so far put it down to the amazing thing that is Fiat electronics and hopefully when i use the car tomoz it'll be back to normal Cheers Matt

| :)  | Re: MPG Read Out I believe it is trip averaged so even under hard acceleration, it won't make much difference as it will be averaged over a large amount of time, it's not real time as I have read anyway. I may be wrong. Paul
