I was wondering how one would calibrate the trip computer so that the cumulative fuel economy that is displayed on the trip computer is what the actual calculated. Any ideas?
Thanks

have them recalibrate your gauge. like i answered in the other post, why? long distance, gumball rally driving? if so, you're in the wrong car for it. just being curious, fill up, drive set mileage, fill up, divide to find mpg, then estimate for your individual computer idiosyncrasy.
