    You're right.
    And it explains now, why all the information the dash shows, are always wrong.

    I have always found the DIC [driver information center ] to be accurate just that it shows ALL the fuel used since the last reset. it doesn't reset everytime you stop. If you really want to ''trick it then wait until you get at a steady speed then reset it. Or wait until you are going down a hill.
    The other thing is if you are switching between lph and mpg, lph is based on imperial and mpg is based on us gal.

    On a thread like this too many people figure things differently.

    1974 Louisville 335 9513 433 rear grossing 13000 lbs got 3.9 mpg us
    2008 550 cat with emissions intact 6.2 mpg us with 75000 lbs.

    I.e. and e.g. are both Latin abbreviations. E.g. stands for exempli gratia and means “for example.” I.e. is the abbreviation for id est and means “in other words.” Remember that E is for example (e.g.) and that I and E are the first letters of in essence, an alternative English translation of i.e.

    And they are both ''metric''.

    I guess I should have pointed out you left some punctuation out between the I and E so I couldn't tell....
