Hey guys,
Just thought id drop a thread on something I have only just picked up about my fuel economy in my car. VY 02 S/C Calais.
I have been looking at my AVG Litres Per 100 on my Digital display and have been getting around 15.5 doing basic running around town etc.
But I have only just discovered that the "Fuel Used" Digital Display is very different to the Actual Fuel used.
Eg: Went to fill up today. The Display read "68.46Lt Used" I actually filled up at "63.76Lt's". I have done this test previously over 3 Tank fills and have noticed between 3-5 Litres Difference.
This means that my AVG Litres Per 100 would really be lower. I adjusted the Calibration for the "Fuel Used" on my Cluster a little lower from 100% to around 94% which dropped the Litres per 100 down from 15.1 to 14. Am going to test it out over a few fills and see how it goes.
Has anyone seen/had this before and have I done the right thing???
