Voltage gauge reading on a 99 C5 ?

[GarryL]

Hi Folks,

Took the C5 on a 800 mile round trip this weekend. It ran flawless and according to the DIC, I averaged 29.6 miles per gallon. Pretty impressive concidering the performance

The question I have is regarding the voltage gauge. It constantly read about 14.7 to 15 volts. Is this normal for these cars. It seems that all the cars I have had with voltage gauges have always read in the region on 12-13 volts.

Thanks,

Garry

I watched mine on the DIC on my way to work this morning. It ranged between 14.2 and 14.9 volts.

Jim,
Thanks for the reply. Okay, Im glad to hear that. I was afraid I was seeing a voltage spike, hence something going bad with the regulator.

Cheers, Garry
