My mate is selling his CL500 so i've offered to drive it somewhere nice and take some pics for him to remember it. When i got the key and started it up the range said 0 miles, 0.2 gal. As soon as i got it home it said 0.0 gal. So i've put £10 in and it said 40 miles. Now i'm back home (driven 1 mile) it says 33 miles left. I think i know why he's selling it

Fiesta ST's are the same tbh - put a tenner in when it said 0 miles left, went to 60 miles, two miles down the road it said 51 miles left.

Miles To Empty/Range indicators assume that the current driving style will be continued...

For example, my car will do roughly 440 miles form a full tank the way I drive during the week and if I fill up on the way home after a steady drive back the MTE will show as about 425 upon filling (then rise to 440 effectvioely through driving style)... if I hamme rit down to the petrol station it'll susually show as 375 as it assumes I will drive like that the whole way

mines shit aswell, i have a 6 miles commute to work which is 12 miles a day.

stupid thing takes off at least 20 miles worth of petrol for every 12 miles even when i'm driving like a granny

i've started using the mileage counter to compare as this is more accurate.

The VAG ones are acurate down to the way they go down. Shame about the number on the screen
