MPG Black Pearl styles 😲

First refill of my new tank following on from Wales trip and my trialing adventures

I know some got "flushed" but my score is an eye watering 19 MPG

So 35s, oversized turbo compressor, lead boots and a tenancy to "test" the old girl , is strangely not conducive to gentlemanly fuel economy

However, I firkin' loves it

Now with added LPG

But with your 35's on have you adjusted the speedo gearing as otherwise you will be recording less miles than you actually cover, Rick

Yep I allowed for that. I used my sat nav and found the speedo 6% out

It was pretty much spot on when I was on 33s
However I have not allowed for the petrol diffs in the system, I got befuddled at that point

I'm glad you've said that actually as I find my speedo is bang on now too on 33's compared to what the sat nav records
