70mpg S2 !!!!

Wow look at this... can anyone spot the slight technical error with this photo... and I promise this is totally genuine, and not photoshopped... For the past three days I've been getting similar readings!!

As I thrashed down the A370 with engine running smoothly as ever, and did the maths.... 210 miles to go, quarter of a tank, so about say 3 gallons left .... thats 70 mpg... whoo hoooo

lol

and here's the missing photo..doh!

I genuinely got 35mpg once. It was all down hill. Were you travelling south

[philKS2]

"travelling south" ??? is that a euphamism for something ... if so then certainly not!!!

Risk staining my leather unholstery* ??? What are you thinking!!

Well travelling north is up hill and travelling south, down It was a reference to my post

My car seems to think that 1/4 of a tank = 30 mile warning , had that on the 'ring with half a tank

Going south IS downhill....

[Cymru1]

Unless you live close to the pole, then at a certain time of
day, travelling south would take you uphill

Bummer

If my S2 could do 70 MPG at either pole I would be slightly richer ( but point taken...tell me how far to go before you start to go downhill again ). Sadly, you might find that there is a lot more left in your tank than the system tells you; my first "fright" put only 60 litres or so in before the tank was full again....

Could be he had just started her up and not tapped the brake pedal yet

Yep I know ...but does that also explain the mahoosive instant fuel economy?!!
