Spotted after I filled up the other day. (and after 28 miles into the journey!!)

Can you better this?

Thats an interesting one but, I think its a case of GIGO with the Yeti computer. The alleged distance as shown is a function of the latest AV MPG and the Galls left. So if you were averaging, say, 50-60 mpg the miles left would be shown higher than if you had been doing 40-42.

Also E=MC2 and the sun goes round the earth which, of course, is flat and 615 miles should take you to the earths edge.

No, it's more like 625 miles to the edge!

you've started a new competition - drive REALLY economically immediately after a brimmer, and take a photo! Ha!

Good game, Llani !!

Surely that would result in too much variation in the range? Could change by 300 miles from one mintue to the next. I thought these figure were based upon some rolling average of the last 20-50 miles driven? Mzda is supposed to be 50 miles. Does the Skud handbook specify?

I don't care how it does it......................I just thought it was an impressive figure!

And it does seem to be fairly accurate.

I bet if you drive really economically just BEFORE a brimmer (50km I think), it will be better

I'm thinking metric, sorry

Best I've seen thus far on mine:

Not too bad for an auto.

PS I've been enjoying mine too much to take photos. Will do at some point....

ive had 575 on my 1.2 petrol .....now im giving it more its normally low 500's..still good for a petrol

Best I've seen thus far on mine:

bloody hell!!

415 miles already driven and another 495 in the tank.

i want some of the fuel you're using

This is mine today.....

Too much driving around South London in the rush hour

hehehe... alas I did not reset the trip when I filled up as I wanted to keep a tally of the whole trip.

That's quite a nice figure, but I still think there's room for improvement (Do I smell a challenge ?)

I was getting at best a range of 560 miles (actually 900 km) in summertime with my DSG Petrol (1.2), so surely the diesel should get better range.

Not good enough!! 146km short, I'm afraid!!

I know. But a petrol engine can't really compete with a diesel when it comes to range (in a similar car). My point was that if I get that sort of mileage from a Petrol surely a diesel should be able do even better

Not my auto at the moment. Thinking about it, it is very economical if I drive up the motorway at about 50mph constant, which I had to do recently when I had to use the spare wheel. that was showing about 60mpg!

Is this not a simple case of tricking the Yeti into thinking computing a range that will be far more than realistic?

For example: fill the Yeti up will fuel at a fuel station on a hill, reset the computer and drive down the hill for 300m whilst engine braking so the fuel usage is next to none?

I am far more interested the best ACTUAL range managed with a full tank!

Well, put it this way, when I filled up and took the picture I posted previously, I put in 40 litres.

Based on a tank size of 60 litres and the fact that, when I filled up, the trip was reading 450 miles and the fact that just before I filled up, I had something like 20 miles of stop/start town driving, I reckon my 670 miles range isn't too far off the mark.

Umm.

It's supposed to be a bit of fun!!

And if you read my original posting I did say that I found the figure to be accurate!!

Fun? Ye gods man, we can't be having that in this forum.
