Car has now done 4642 Miles

paa100 · Mar 7th, 2008, 09:24 PM

Hey,

How did you get all of that data on that display! Can I do that. I am only getting 48mpg at 2500 miles

KPKalle · Mar 7th, 2008, 09:30 PM

The data on the radio display (second image) is a feature on the R56 only.

I've got a R56 Dooper and as well as being jealous of the mpg that others are getting( only getting 58mpg despite driving it very gently!!) How do you get the info on the radio display?

Hi, I dont mean to insult you or anything but these figures look as if you have reset the average consumption counter - or have been doing a lot of motorway driving.

I think this because it states your average speed is saying 80 kph? Which is equivalant to 49.71 mph

If you have the On-Board Computer spec'd on the car, then click on the 'Menu' button on the right side of the knob and then press the knob when 'Comp' (I think it says) is bold, then the stats should be showing.

Instructions are for cars with Radio BOOST CD.

You are quite right ! I drive 150 kilometers every day to and from work - consists of 6 kilometeres of city driving and 144 kilometers of motorway !

Yoastie · Mar 13th, 2008, 08:35 PM

hmmm, mine is creeping up very slowly - at the moment I am on 62.4 mpg

bob corbishley · Mar 14th, 2008, 03:12 PM

Just did a stick to the speed limit 100 mile trip to Peterborough and back - 69.2MPG... which is nice

westendboy · Mar 14th, 2008, 04:41 PM

hmmmm..... their is something I don't quite understand

You mentioned 27km/l but as far as I have known consumption is usually measured in Miles-per-gallon (MPG USA / MPG Euro) OR Litres per 100km (l/100km). Any car brochure/website will have only these 2 denominations from my experience.

I am awaiting my Swiss MINI so can;t confirm if its computer has the kilometres-per-litre option but if it does I would be surprised.

Wind Diesel · Mar 15th, 2008, 07:21 AM

I can change the settings on the boardcomputer to show mpg / km/l / L/100 to what suits my mood !

When you are in ultra calm mode, try driving at 65mph on a road that you usually run at 70mph,
you should see even better mpg.

But you may not like everyone blowing past you

doops · Mar 15th, 2008, 12:17 PM

I like it when people are blowing past me, makes me think "yep, you're paying a ton more than me for your fuel!"... Plus I kind of enjoy time spent in my Dooper, slower driving = less fuel and more time inside the car

Sid-Clubman · Mar 16th, 2008, 12:08 AM

That's a plus attitude

Its great when you get stuck behind a truck doing 50mph on an A road!

Wind Diesel · Mar 31st, 2008, 09:11 AM

That's 82mpg (imperial) if my calculation is correct.

28.9 x 4.55 gives131.5 miles/litre
131.5 / 1.6 = 82mpg.

Very impressive!
