You're not wearing a steel toe capped, lead lined size thirteen boot on your right foot by any chance - are you ?
Sadly no longer a C5 owner

Re: Post your 5000 mile or more average mph/mpg
9999 km to be exact ... ... I'll post mine today, just to take a photo ... but, the data is slightly inaccurate, since I've had to to a BSI firmware upgrade, and I've lost about 3/4 of the total trip until last September till today, and the mpg will be worse on display than in reality ...

Re: Post your 5000 mile or more average mph/mpg
Here's my current readout ... mind you, BSI was reset, so I lost about 4000 miles of data ... before the reset, I had the mpg ratio approx. 43.5 ... considering I mostly do 10-15 miles of city driving per day, that's not bad at all ...
Re: Post your 5000 mile or more average mph/mpg
can you trust the computer read out, best way to check, fill the tank, zero the reading ,do this about 4 times ,then take an average

No fancy computers here

Xantia 2.1 TD (98) @ 41 mpg mostly short trips under 10 miles through town. Happy enough with the MPG... Road Tax is a massive expense considering we only do about 5,000 miles a year
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
I really miss my 2nd hand AX 1.4 D Echo 'Martini' 60 MPG and at the time I was running on a mix of diesel/veg oil (new) and getting a fuel allowance from work so after 4 years the car was a freebie having totally paid for itself including insurance/tax/repairs/fuels RIP

Re: Post your 5000 mile or more average mph/mpg
Which is exactly what I do every refill actually (for years), but since the car computer counts the miles (km) passed, and knows how many gallons (litres) have passed by, I guess it can't fail in a simple math division operation to get the total average (which is correct in my case, compared to my math)... approximates for the remaining tank are a different matter however and usually linked with the weight of a drivers foot ... ...carman wrote:can you trust the computer read out, best way to check, fill the tank, zero the reading ,do this about 4 times ,then take an average

Well, I can't help myself ... still, consumes less than my previous Xsara 1.9 TD, with 70 HP more ... so, I'm still a happy camper ...

1995 Citroen ZX Elation 1.9D. Gone but not forgotten - x 10
Re: Post your 5000 mile or more average mph/mpg
1995 ZX 1.9D - 5-Door – Manual
Bought 31/01/2009 at 98678 miles.
Injectors serviced at 139241 miles on 22/06 2012. Av mpg up to then 54.56.
Mileage today 164469. Since injector servicing, av mpg 56.69.
The above figures are from a spreadsheet I keep.
Usage is mainly country roads – shopping, etc, but on bigger roads I ‘make progress’ as the saying goes. Happily, I live in France at the mo’ where ‘gazole’ is the equivalent of about £1.02 per litre – and no road tax either.
