    MPG Display - calibration...

    One for the electronics experts here....

    I've been logging my fuel consumption over the last year or so and have found that the MPG digital display is on average -19% out. I there any way to adjust the calibration of this so that it gives a more realistic estimation of the actual MPG?

    Any advice would be welcome.

          can this method be used to contemplate the losses if bigger injectors are used?

            Yes - that is the only option you have, unless we find a way to hack the Autocheck computer.

              i just turned the calibration to -15% and it seems to be giving me lots more Kms to cover on the same tank!!! shouldnt it be the other way around?

                  well the trick is to put it into +15% as the percentage goes to consumption,not milaege.So now im much closer to real numbers of consumption with the new injectors! motronic is niiiice
