The big bump was the start of me starting to work on improving my fuel consumption. I use my Daily Trip from the ScanGauge for comparison. On like for like journeys.
The pump to pump figures vary because I seldom do the same type of journeys from one tank to the next.
My car accelerates at about 40 mpg but it takes a lot longer than a second to build the speed back up. Takes almost the same time to gain it as it did to lose it. I keep it in 5th and try to keep the throttle at less than 80%. It is only a 1200cc motor.
The speed varies from about 55 down to about 45.
