VF Calais V sporteagon v8
Hi all,

I just picked up a VF Calais sportwagon V8.i picked it up in QLD and drove it back to Melbourne.
On reading the manual, it says there is a " total fuel used since reset". I cannot seem to find it !

Does anyone know where I can find this info ?

Thanks in advance

Not that I'm aware of (Gen-F2 GTS). The display seems to give a lot of useless economy information but no total fuel used. Very annoying because I used to check the fuel used figure against the bowser figure to see which fuel pumps were screwing me over.

Thanks for your reply

I am sure I seen it somewhere but can't find the function anywhere. I'll keep looking and asking but thanks for your input.

No, my MY16 Redline does not have this either, the last car that I owned with this feature was a VZ Clubsport.

On mine I can see total fuel used on the first screen by scrolling up and down believe it is just after the trip computer and and when i fill up I reset it to see if it matches up as there is no way for it to automatically reset all my commodores from VY to present had this feature.

It is only on the monochrome Displays. not on colour display on the VF. Very annoying because VE Calais had it and it was very accurate.

So if you still haven’t worked it out leave your screen on the speedo and rotate the wheel on the left indicator and you will find everything your looking for and to reset your trip computer press and hold the button on the end of the right indicator arm
