Definately something wrong there......I have a GS300 MKIII....last week I did 140 miles through yorkshire then back down the A1 at 85 and still got 37.1 MPG!!!!....and thats a petrol!!!!

Don't think £5 of petrol would make the needle move that much, but I'm assuming 20mpg is just what it says on the computer? It could be confused by the short fill and amount that's in the tank........try seeing how many miles you actually do and then calculating the mpg.

Yeh, £5 is minor and its diesel so wouldn't be as much as you get from £5 of petrol!
