Much better mpg
Over past few months I have been keeping track of actual mpg, having covered over 10,000 miles it has averaged 24.8mpg using the iPhone app.
A few weeks ago I inflated the tyres to 36psi front and 40 rears
Actual mpg is now 28.9
Tyres are a road/ m+s cross by khumo 255 60 18s....................................................................................................
If my wife ever sells my stuff for what she thinks I paid for them, you lot are gonna get some bargains!

That's pretty impressive, has it had any effect on handling/stopping?Clive

Steering is lighter, but nothing untoward. Tyre wear is even too. Went through the snow in Oxford this morning with no problems....................................................................................................

Cheers for that, I think I'll have to pump mine up a bit then, I'm averaging 25.45 long term (on iPhone app) but just lately I'm down to about 23. Maybe the FBH is not helping though since the cold weather set in?Clive

About what I get with mine with pressures up. It's winter, mpg goes to hell in a handcart.

Deffo there, search on "road trip" (with space), look for a red petrol pump symbol.

Anyone know of anything similar for android phones?
