Hi,
I have read with interest the "fuel thread".
On reading the handbook and the threads on this forumit appears that the computer gives the fuel used in litres per 100 KM. Is this correct, as no other configuartion makes sense and at 9.7 miles per gallon on the display when I collected my car would equate to just over 29 mpg, if calculated as litres used per 100KM, which agrees with the threads on this forum.
Am I also correct that the display cannot be changed to something sensible like MPG, or even KM per litre? I have just traded in a2.7 diesel Jaguar which gave a very simple MPG on the computer and averaged about 36 MPG around town and 45 MPG on a run, plus the computer was accurate! Looks like I need to ignore the display on the Captiva and do my own manual calculations. It should not be this difficult!
