Dynamic Turtle Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Nice idea, but nobody buys a zed for its fuel economy, right? Pretty sad to own a car like this and try to squeeze 35mpg out of it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffyjason Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 its the OBD diagnostics im getting it for, but the fuel efficiency charts will be interesting to review with different driving styles the code reader and reset feature is good, i think it adds useful features to something i already own, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docwra Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Last time I actually checked my average it was just under 18mpg, this would probably explode in 5 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posidrive Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 well the local garage charges £45 for an OBD reading, this unit cost me £65 one off, plus i know have the cookie monster giving me directions!
