mpg

The MPG/ESO telescope is a 2.2-metre f/8.0 (17.6-metre) ground-based telescope at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in La Silla, Chile. It was built by Zeiss and has been operating since 1984. It was on indefinite loan to the European Southern Observatory from the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA). In October 2013 it was returned to the MPIA. Telescope time is shared between MPIA and MPE observing programmes, while the operation and maintenance of the telescope are ESO's responsibility.
The telescope hosts three instruments: the 67-million-pixel Wide Field Imager with a field of view able to cover the full Moon; GROND, the Gamma-Ray Burst Optical/Near-Infrared Detector, which chases the afterglows of the most powerful explosions in the universe, known as gamma-ray bursts; and the high-resolution spectrograph, FEROS, used to make detailed studies of stars.
In November 2010 it was used to observe HIP 13044, and marked what was thought to be the first time a planetary system in a stellar stream of extragalactic origin had been detected. However, subsequent analysis in 2014 found no evidence for a planet orbiting the star.

    Fuel Consumption

    Had my HS PHEV now for 5 months, and whilst it's a very pleasant car to drive, I'm a little disappointed with the fuel consumption, or more specifically the interaction between the battery and the ICE. I've got it set to HEV mode, but it doesn't seem to matter whether I'm doing short or long...

    Hello everyone, I am intersted in buying an MG ZS hybrid +. I know the car has good mpg in town driving and i like driving hybrids. However i do monthly a long trip in motorway. Some reviewers say i should expect at most 40mpg UK. That's disappointing in comparison to my current diesel. What...

    Trip computer

    My MG 3 was in the workshop. Since the trip computer resets every journey and says from start. It used to say accumulated total showing mileage, mpg etc for all journeys. How do I get it back to this display?

    MPG does this make sense

    Hi Folks, have a 2025 MGHS Phev and just completed a longish run just on the electric, noticed that as journey progressed miles 'available' from fuel tank went up, so it would appear to be calculating MPG based on my style of driving during the run. If the tank is apx 12.1 Gallons IMP then it...

    Range & MPG (Advice Please)

    I am considering buying a 2023 HS but am unsure what the combined range (miles) would be on a motorway at 70 mph starting with a full battery (not in EV mode) before this is depleted and running, then on the engine alone. Plus, what MPG is achievable at this speed for both instances? Around...

    Concerns

    As previously posted, I collected my brand new Hybrid ZS + last Tuesday and since driving it home, which was fine, I find that the rev counter is sticking at 1.3 RPM. This is the case between varying speeds from 20mph to 45mph and gives the feeling its being driven in second gear. The EV doesnt...

    How Driving Mode Affects The mpg.

    Do any of our wise forum members know how the charging system works? Let me explain...most of my driving is around town, does this mean the auxiliary battery gets very little charge? In other words, like the old 12V batteries needed a good run now and then to fully charge, is it the same with...
