Mk2 Xantia Trip Recorders

Am I being silly here

I normally track fuel consumption by noting distance covered on the "a" trip recorder. Last time I filled up, I chose to use the "b" recorder.

It seems to be running very much more economically this week

Does the "a" recorder measure miles and the "b" record Kilometers by any chance?

Seems very unlikely...

Maybe you just have a bit less lead in your foot this time ?

Hi Jim,

I recently wondered the same thing on my '99 110 Hdi Exclusive estate.

I checked it by zeroing both 'a' and 'b' recorders and monitoring distance travelled using a handheld GPS unit.

Both 'a' and 'b' recorded the same ( in miles) and agreed with the GPS.

The difference in mpg was down to very different types of driving condition (and the liberal use of right foot !).

Rgds.

Ted
