MPG calculator?

[HDIkyle]

Is there any other type of MPG reader than the Scangauges? I am after something afair bit cheaper than that ideally?

If you have andriod download torque and get a bluetooth odb2 reader. That has mpg on it. And bhp speed alsorts really.

Too much effort and i dont do full fillups i put bits in here and there so it is never accurate

Then you will never get an accurate reading mate, because you have no 'constant' value.

You could buy the most expensive equipment in the world and still you wouldn't get an accurate mpg reading, because all trip computers require calibration. Even OEM dashboard read-outs need calibrating properly (especially if you make any changes to the car or haven't serviced it in a while)

Oh and if Tom is reading, yes your Golf definitely got 65mpg despite defying all logical explaination...

It did yes, it doesnt defy logic at all. It just happens that due to where I live and the driving I do, plus my anal driving style tailored for mpg, that I get better mpg than most people. The avensis is averaging 42mpg ffs lol, I wasnt expecting more than 35!

However I always calculate mine properly, those computer things are never accurate, even the scangauge ones, mainly because they default to 99.9mpg downhill, I mean WTF, that throws the average reading out, it shouldnt read anything at all coasting downhill when the injectors shut off, the golf goes to dashes which is a better idea but still not perfect.

The only real way to do it is to fill up properly, with the same pump, to the click each time. Then either use a calculator OR stick the figures in here - http://www.torquecars.com/tools/uk-mpg-calculator.php - which gives you ppm and stuff too, requiring almost no brain power.
