    7km/l is like 16mpg. you must drive it like you stole it

      I hope you're not going by your OBC.
      Mine was telling me I got 18mpg highway, but when I calculated it using GPS and the full tank method I got 25-28mpg

      It also told me I got 9mpg city :roll:

        I think your sensor is spinning twice as fast... does your speedo read 250mph when your on the highway?

          If you're talking to me, no. My speedo is fairly accurate. At 80 its only about 4mph off.

            When mine was at 150k I thought I'd get a rebuild at 200k. But when I hit 200k and the engine ran strong, I figured I'd go to 250k then rebuild. Now at 278k, and I'm rooting for how long my original engine will go.

            Long live the M20.

              I'm planning on rebuilding it for a performance set up, not necessarily because it needs it

                  assuming your odometer is accurate. if you've got a GPS use that. Or record everywhere you've gone and then google maps it to get distance measurements.
