I didn't realise you could chose "the road" as one of your trip computers display options. Is that the click after "Instant MPG" ?

No, it's in the display after you've set the adaptive cruise control. You use it to adjust the distance to the vehicle ahead.

So YOU and your cronies are responsible for the current financial climate.

Never trust a banker!

I believe you are confusing master baker and merchant banker. Don't even mention dental flosser

Update on the mpg front - now done 1000 miles and on the last long distance country road/motorway journey the car did 34.4 mpg with an average of 49mph. I have to say that really isn't anything like what I expected, even allowing for the manufacturer's b******s in the mpg figures they quote. Can I REALLY expect this mpg to increase as the engine loosens up? We were told that about our BMW 3 series diesel but that never did improve.
