Hi
I am doing many short journies but my petrol consumption via the dash trip gadget is showing 24 miles per UK gallon.
The car runs quite well. There is the occasional flat spot on accelerating but otherwise it starts first time, idles evenly and shows no obvious problems. Here in Finland it is getting a bit colder but is above freezing and we drive constantly with the lights on main beam. The Car is kept in a basement garage under the house.
So far I cannot get a graph of my lambda or look at the fuel trims but the voltage via my voltmeter is from .1 to about .75 The maximum reading i have noticed was a tiny bit over .8. My voltmeter has a bar chart and the voltage cycles up and down in what seems like a typical manner.
I just passed the Finnish MOT and emissions test without comment.
I am going to go thru the various systems and try to see what is going on but has anybody got any suggestions so far? The last time i checked the plugs I saw no problems.
I have so far paid no attention to the amount of fuel i have been using and since it is displayed in km per liter it has never got my attention until i converted it to miles per uk gallon.
What should I expect to get in miles per UK gallon?
