I would have thought a computer is a lot more accurate that trying to work it out with pen and paper from figures given by the computer

You don’t work it out from the figures on the computer!

It’s simple maths, you start with a full tank take the mileage, when you fill the tank again you take the mileage, subtract the previous mileage and then divide that by the amount of fuel it took to do those miles.

That is the accurate method of recording fuel consumption, but there are a bunch of apps available that will work it all out for you, they give you a tank to tank figure, 30/60/90day averages and lifetime mpg.

They are a very useful tool, you can tell a lot about a lorry’s health (and how it’s being driven) by watching fuel consumption. You can also run different routes and compare mpg between the two, sometimes the quickest way isn’t the most cost effective.

We use tomtom onboard for day to day week to week. Then also have renaults own diagnostic program fitted to check. They are spot on, never differ. One old boy who has worked for us for years still also checks the km’s and fuel usage and his always varies from the computer read outs. Since we have installed it the consumption has dropped by about 6 percent…

The computer results are wrong both of then the old boys way of doing I will be more accurate

Thought he said something special, these ain’t, in my humble opinion.

This is for the guys that drive these v8’s, r560’s, streamlines, fh750’s etc etc

Are these things any nicer to drive in the real world? Is it the difference between, say a scrap battered 15 year old mot failure Ford Fiesta and a top of the range merc? Does it have the same ■■■■■■ plastics, ■■■■■■ ride and only marginally better?
Cos to me, I’m so used to driver wannk trucks, I’m jus pleased when the seat isn’t an upturned broken bottle, isn’t slept in by the yard Alsatian, and isn’t three inch deep in ■■■ ash and rolling bacca?

We have had it for a few months now… It was sold to us for cost price to advertise these in the UK… I think 15 have been sold since I had mine 3 months ago… Much nicer than the Golden Griffin In My Opinion…
