GDay fellas, would anyone know why my distance to empty reading has suddenly jumped from normally 420-450km to empty on a full tank to now 660km to empty (this happened after i removed
the old battery and installed a new one). I did a pcm reset also but the figure stayed the same. I have never ever had such a high reading before and normally only ever got around 420kms out of a tank (660kms would be great for a cammed V8 if that new reading is correct!!). Will probably have to set the trip computer to see if Im really going to achieve that distance..

I could totally be wrong here but doesnt it average over your previous driving habits?

Ie if you just reset it and put the boot up it for 500m it will probably say 50km to empty but if you nanny foot it it will read alot higher.

Dunno?

It's an estimate. It will change based on your driving style, or, since you've had the battery out, when it has a chance to work out what it really does.

Thats right. Your distance to empty is based on your driving style.I went from Dandenong to just past Ballarat on the weekend. Before i left i had about 520 till empty ,when i got to Ballarat it was 560 till empty and i drove approx 105 kays . If i fill up i get about 550 till empty ,but if i disconect the battery for about 5 minutes then reconnect it it goes to about 700 till empty .
