The meter calibration is spot on.

In the first few months of ownership, I carefully compared my actual fuel bills to the trip computer readings and they were remarkably accurate - against my expectations, really.

The weighing up of the road ahead does make for smooth driving my brake disc are showing no signs of wear after 25K miles

Vectra Diesel...?

Most I've achieved from my E34 this winter is 36mpg, on a run; going work and back everyday, still doing aroung 30-31mpg, which isn't bad for a 6 cyl petrol...!

During the Suez Crisis in the 50's. I used to empty roadside lamps into the car, making a 50-50 mix , sure there was lots of white smoke and not that much power and the pinking was deafening, other than having to fill the carb with petrol for the cold start of the day there was no problem.

That car was only 2 liter, the SL is 5

So the SL takes 2 1/2 times as many lamps?

When I were a lad we used to dream of seeing a lamp, let alone finding one wi' oil in ! Then you ask the kids of today what MPL they get from thur cars and they don't understand you....
