Just something that puzzles me
has anyone tried the metric option on the in dash fuel information settings?. Ive noticed that when I use the Inst setting on metric the mpg figure goes up when I press the accelerator and down when Im off throttle its the other way around when the setting is on Eng(lish) the later being more logical. |

What's metric?
 I've played around with it before but never noticed it going up when I accelerate....that's strange. |

MILES PER GALLON VS. LITERS PER KILOMETER

Yup. In metric, lower is better mileage.

yea... in Europe, there is a class of car that gets 3 litres per 100 kilometers.
That's like 70mpg. |

Fuel economy is figured in liters of fuel per 100kms. I dont know what bright light came up with that approach, but that's what we're stuck with. In a nutshell, 6lt/100km is good fuel economy and 15lts/100km means your having too much fun! Blame it on Trudeau - he was in power when I was a kid and we switched to metric. Metric is mostly simple, you just caught one of the more goofy applications.  |
