| PPE and DIC/MPG
All you guys out there with PPE, how accurate is your mpg on your dic? I read somewhere where is throws the calibration off. Does anyone have info on how it works and what it would take to make it work right w/ PPE?

| Little tip for ya. The MPG computers in vehicles nowadays are always off. ALWAYS calculate using the hand method and you will know for sure at all times. I keep a record on excel so I know what I did when I got good fuel economy numbers, what gas station, time of the year, so on and so forth.

I find if i'm up to speed then get the dic to read the avg mpg,hold down the arrow button and it'll give it to ya in real time,don't forget to reset these when refueling cuuse i've read that they need to self calibrate to keep more accurate numbers,anyone else heard anything similar,seems to work??
