RE: Inaccurate Trip Computers

HI Rick and all jag lovers,

Good point, but I'll bet if you select gal/kilometers you get imperial gals!!!

I'll try this when I get in my car the next time.

If the trip computer records imperial gals does that mean my gas milage is
worst than I think!!!!

Hi all something about this problem just hit me,is it possible that the
trip computer is calibrated in "Imperial Gallons". The conversion is
approximatly 1.2 US gallons to 1 Imperial gallon. It could be a possible
explanation.
