That will give the volume consumed (assuming that you haven't used the screen washer en-route).https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/31423041/maths-expertscalculating-mpg?post_id=554848967#554848967On a dry day, weigh your car at the beginning and end of your journey and divide the difference by the SG of your fuel.

If you then enter a town start using lower gears, go slower, starting, stoping whatever, yhttps://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/31423041/maths-expertscalculating-mpg?post_id=554847041#554847041If for example you drive 10 miles at a steady speed of 60 mph in top gear on the A1 your gauge will calculate that you can do say 200 miles with the fuel left.
