can someone explain how you work it out? Fill your tank...see how many litres it takes...reset your trip on the speedo..drive until tank is empty and look at the trip mileage. So if my car does 350 miles on 60l of diesel...how do i get that to miles per gallon. 1 imperial uk gallon is 4.54609 litres. so divide the litres used by 4.54609 and you will get tank capacity in gallons 60/4.54609 = 13.19 gallons. Therefore to get miles per gallon take mileage and divide by gallons. ie 350 miles/ 13.19 gallons = 26.5 mile per gallon..which is about what my old audi used to do...as I drove it pretty hard. Clear as mud...im sure theres a flaw in my maths somewhere..the brain is rusty!

Ive been using the Z4 for the commute to Manchester and I drove there at 55 mph yesterday... reset the trip computer prior and it was showing 45mpg when I got there!!
Usually, now that I'm commuting, I'm seeing the OBC showing 33mpg (ish) over a tank.
