Fuel Efficiency

[Dado]

When I first got the car about 5 years ago the fuel rate was around 26/27 now I am fully at home in it the consumption is around 22/23 but I only do relatively short journeys most of the time, the rear tyres are almost on the treadwear bars after 3500 miles so it's not driven too gently, I live in Milton Keynes, roundabout city so that probably doesn't help with either tyre wear or fuel use.
All fuel checks are from the on onboard computer however good that is.

Currently on this tank sitting at a respectable 29. Motorway miles (mainly) with 80mph solid once on motorway

How's this for OCD
This is my record of every penny that's gone on fuel into my manual 2.8 Zed from the day I bought it on 13th May 2018 to last night when I took it for a little run. My auto Zed is sorned but I have the same records for that car too and that goes back to December 2013. All MPG is calculated and not OBC. I always fill my car fuel tank which makes calculation very easy.

Self explainable really but columns are date, amount of fuel, cost of fuel, trip meter reading, calculated MPG and finally odometer reading.

how many cars are in the queue behind you at the kiosk......

Anything over 25mpg and I’m having a bad day’s driving

As a friend once said, it might only be a 2.2 but seems to pass everything except a garage.
I suppose if you do a lot of miles the fuel consumption is an issue, in my case almost every journey in it is just for the fun of it, and with that has anyone else got the hump at the £330 road fund license.........
Really needs to be based on miles not emissions, if everyone bought electric we wouldn't have enough electricity to charge them all overnight.
Rant over......
