Go round roundabout - gain 10 litres, exit roundabout, loose 10 litres. Brake hard, gain 5 litres.

The ibiza one predicts how your driving, then goes down assuming your gunna carry on drivin like that. So death for 10 minutes = loose 5/10 litres. Then drive sensibly and it goes up.

350 miles to £60 then.

I'm expecting the low/mid 30's out of a E36 320, so i'd be doing £240 in fuel a month , assuming petrol stays at 1.20 a litre.
