Mine's gone up from 17.6 to 18.2 since the blue injectors went in...cold weather doesn't seem to have caused it to drop....yet lol
i'd check the MPG using the trip & how much fuel you've put in mate, if the fuel computer uses pulse rates to work out how much fuel is being injected then the calibration will be out. Because your using bigger injectors the injector duty is less so it thinks your putting in less fuel when its actually the same as the previous injectors were, but they were staying open longer to supply the same amount

It would be nice to be able to drive the t5 but the snow is too deep and would makea rite mess of the front bumber using it as a snow plough
mine dont seem to tally up since i put blues in it says 22mpg on the trip comp. but it seems to go alot quicker than those figures would suggest
Well mine hasnt changed at all.... 28.5 MPG
Arguing is pointless....she may not be right but she's never wrong
Tell her a remap is just having your satnav updated.....
My mpg is always bad so I don't bother watching it anymore Have to put fuel in so no point stressing about it.

Haha! That made me chuckle.
I just know how to drive Frank! You dont have to drive with your pants on fire all the time do you!
My power is for overtaking and occasionally showing those who dare laugh what a Volvo is capable of.
Other than that its all plain sailing as they say

Besides if your going to call me a Grandad driver at least extend me the Courtesy of getting it right!

Think I used 1/4 of a tank of fuel and 1000 miles worth of tyre wear trying to get out my road this morning...
Car you have failed me and failed yourself lol
(Plus has anyone noticed with an S60R or V70R that if it cant get traction it just gives up and goes to FWD? Had to turn the car off and on just to get onto my drive as the rear wheels were doing nothing until I did!)

Mine has dropped slightly but I think it's due to a dodgy thermostat as my car is running cool and doesn't get more than 1/3rd of the way up when moving.
New 'stat purchased from local ***** dealer - just need a warm place to change it..
No idea why but V o l l y was picked up as a naughty word :O)
