MPG; US Gallon
Apologies if this is a completely stupid question, but the built in computer MPG estimate, is that in miles per US gallon?

Out of interest. What are UK users getting from their V6s round town and motorway?

I expected as much, thanks!
Getting around 22 around town and up to maybe 26-28 on a good long run. Saying that, I do find it hard to resist putting my foot down just a little now and again

Like the round town figure... was hoping for something starting with a 3 on the motorway. Anyone?
Cheers Bluey |

Next time I do a long run I'll reset and check it out, I've only had the car a couple of weeks so I've got no accurate figures.
I imagine redleader will have the figures down to 2 decimal places though

I'm using the iPhone ROADTRIP App and have done since I got my Camaro in March 2012.
It is set to UK Gallons & Miles. It is spot-on correct. But as you say, UK to USA Gallons to be considered. http://www.unitjuggler.com/convert-f...gimperial.html My DIC us setup to UK Mph Mpg etc 30.30 MPG UK = 25.25 MPG USA 17 to 23 Town 25 to 31 Motorway That's Winter to Summer 2010 V6, CAI + Scoop, TB, Iceolator, LoudMouth II CAT Back, 2013 EU 20" Rims 245/285 |

Just messing, I didn't buy the car for fuel economy, nor do I drive it so. It's there to enjoy. My car is remapped for high octane unleaded too, so it wouldn't be worth doing now anyway. The way I see it, with all these toy cars and Prius' about there's gonna be a fuel surplus without us Camaro boys (& girls).

Reset my ECU this evening to see if I get any benefit from using 99 fuel. If anything though I'm noticing much smoother gear changes on the auto box now.
