Re: computer MPG adjustment

[Luis Marques <marques@rtis.ray.com>]

The same thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago.  The computer on my
4kcsq was giving out an overly optimistic MPG reading (like 30mpg when I
was computing about 22mpg).

So I took a look at the Bentley and adjusted for "-15%".  Suddenly I was
getting 40mpg out of the car!  So I had to go back and adjust for "+15%"
and finally it is kind of close, but still optimistic (like 3mph better
than actual).
