Just didn't want him popping off the battery terminal after each fill and wondering why his car always runs like sh*t!Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serangan Member 103 Member For: 11y 2m Gender: Male Location: Hobart, Tasmania Posted 22/06/14 01:05 PM Share Posted 22/06/14 01:05 PM Because the dash trip reset only resets your trip meter not your average speed or your lph average. So if your average fuel is say 50 ks tripping reset on dash won't reset that only your trip meter will reset taking battery terminal of resets all your averages.if you hold down the menu button for longer you'll hear a second beep and it resets them all. I do thing ever full up. I've got a Ba xr6 turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueace351 New Member 3 Member For: 10y 6m 9d Gender: Male Location: Penrith, NSW Posted 09/07/14 02:26 AM Share Posted 09/07/14 02:26 AM Had my new manual sedan for a month now. A mix of Sydney metro and a trip to Canberra has it at 1150Km's, averaging 11.9 L/100 and average speed of 48km/h running 95 then 98. Have been trying to hold back with the throttle at the moment till I get some more K's on it but must admit I'm finding it hard to resist. Traded my BA 6cyl 5 speed in for the turbo. The BA used to average around the 11 L/100 constantly so the step up in performance far out ways the extra fuel usage. I will be more than happy if it continues or even improves on it's current average! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 16y 11m 29d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 09/07/14 05:23 AM Share Posted 09/07/14 05:23 AM (edited) Don't hold back too much on it. Give it a good mix of loads/revs/gears, up hills, engine brake going down etc. Break it in nicely and it will get a touch more power and not use oil. Just don't redline it or thrash it cold (15 mins warmup before any WOT) Edited 09/07/14 05:24 AM by -Stever- 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
