I think this may be a question for Hib .. or someone with at least as much knowledge!!
We have two vehicles 91 Vette, 98 Eldo... both with computer Drivers Information Centers.. Here's the question.
I can convert both from Metric to North American .. ie: Kilometers and litres to Miles and gallons. I know what 7 litres per 100 km means and I know what 24 mpg means! Yup I'm that old!! lol
However, there is a difference between an Imperial quart and an American quart (32 ounces vs 40 ounces) there are still 4 quarts in a gallon Imperial and American however, the gallons are different sizes (128 vs 160 ounces!) . Can the computers in the two cars provide mpg in Imperial or just American? Are there different chips for exported cars that provide this? If you can only get about 24-30 mpg with your big gallon.. I have to drive boringly slow to achieve the same numbers with my small gallon!
Does this make any sense??
so.. assuming it makes enough sense the questions are:
1. Do the computers have different software to accommodate the different sized gallons in the U.S. vs Canada?
2. If so, how do I determine which I have in my cars?
