*** How to get great fuel consumption figures ***

Start car.

Drive to the top of a very steep hill.

Speed downhil in D (auto box) with accelerator to the nail.

Quickly shift to N (auto box) without slowing down, then take foot off accelerator.

Reset avergae fuel consumption display on MID while maintaing (or increasing) downhill speed.

Take picture of avergae fuel consumption on MID with mobile phone camera while not slowing down and not hitting anything (tricky!).

Stop everything, post picture in forum and brag.
