Hey all i am new to the site and new to this whole forum thing but looks good and helpful!
I currently have a red Fiesta ST on an 07 plate.
So Far.....
I have an "Infinity Exhausts" custom made exhaust from cat back.
Lower -35mm
Dmb Red And Black Badges Inc Wheel
Bee Sting Arial, A Few Graphics, Headlight Bulb Upgrades, Top Spec inc climate control full leather heated screens and mirrors etc.....
BUT I HAVE AN ISSUE!!!!!
Ok so now and again i do like to put my foot down to hear that amazing exhaust note but 9/10 i will drive normal!
Im currently returning between 24-26 MPG nothing over no matter what i do!!
Could my computer be wrong? Or maybe i have a problem as i know that my dads st 225 is better than that and the bloke loves speed!!
Anyway if anyone has any ideas or thinks thats normal please put my mind at rest!!! Cant wait to here from you guys and gals, THANKS

Chris

Hey thanks getting back,

Clearly i am a n00b as i didnt know you could do that?
Is it just a long press and hold on the reset button?

Thanks mate

yea when its on the MPG screen just hold down to re set just like you do with the trip miles.


then it should change according to your mpg, if it hasnt been reset in a while it wont change very much as it is an average over that period of time. so even if you drive really carefully you probably wouldnt have seen much of a change at all.
