Fuel Range!

Looks like the fuel consumption gets better after passing 50,000...or my tank just got bigger!!

That or you drive it in neutral all day!

Interesting. Did you do a System Reset just before seeing this?

Mine has thrown a wobbly and given readouts like that a few times.

I don't know why, but putting fuel in the car resets it.

It's a strange one, I haven't done anything to the car since refuelling last week, I checked the range then and it was fine (well, normal!)
I drove six miles today and the range is down to 780!!

The !.8T I used to have did the same thing once.

My ZT-T has done this twice now quite randomly, jumps to 1,000 mile range and then counts down really quickly to zero, clocks over to 999 miles and starts the count down again at roughly 1 mile every 20 seconds!

A battery reset has cured it each time, no idea why it does it but at least I know what to do to correct it.
Hope that helps, Paul.
