Well, maybe - these are SG2 figures so far but I'm using it to see if I'm getting better or not day on day. On the positive side the SG2 was only 2% out on the first tank so hopefully this should be reasonably accurate.

On the negative side the first bar on the tank went out at 120 miles, and those reporting the best MPGs in these cars last until 150+

I have been half tempted to fill up early to see if I can get a better 1st bar figure.

EDIT - and I have worked out how to get the fuel shut off to work, you have to be coasting over 1800 rpm to get the four 9s.
