The pic is on your computer, therefore only you can see it right now.

You must attach it using 'edit', 'go advanced', 'manage attachments', 'choose file', 'upload'.

Else you can store it at a picture sharing web service such as Photobucket, then post the URL here.

I'll never live to see that on my display. Unless maybe I reset it while going down a long hill.

Okay, now click on the little landscape picture above the edit box and add the URL - voila, pic is displayed:



BTW, I've gotten close - last month with a drive between San Diego and Palm Springs, I got an average reading of 26.7 - thought that was pretty darn good!

I've gotten mine to avg. 29mpg, but only if I reset it while already on the highway and really cruise light-footed.

Mind you, that is better MPG than many luxo-hybrids! (LS430h, Escalade Hybrid, etc.)

This is just driving around 45-55mph on back country roads. Sadley, if I really try to drive as efficiently as possible to work and back, ill only manage 22mpg. its basically 55mph, stop, 55mph, stop, 45mph, stop. but still 22mpg in stop and go isnt too bad

If I cruise at 2000rpm about 65-70mph on motorway here I can get about 27-28mpg.. but it isnt easy watching people not in Jags passing you :-)

I just came back from a longish drive, and managed to not have to stop for 125miles. I managed to average.....32.5mpg (Imperial/UK)

Pretty good for what the car is, laden with luggage and doing 70mph on Cruise Control!
