bersa2 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Pulled my dash apart to add a blue tooth kit. I 've been driving with the trip computer removed. My fuel economy has dropped quite a bit. I wouldn't think it should have an affect on things, but I did just buy this car.

bersa2 Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 1/8 of tank for a 25 mile trip seems high to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob-2 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Learn to measure MPG properly, 1/8 tank to miles is not MPG. miles/gallons=mpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bersa2 Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Come on, really? It's a reference. I'll math it up for us all though. 16.9 gal tank /8 =2.125 gals 25 miles / 2.125 gals = 11.76 MPG Not quite the 25ish avg I had. FYI I may have rounded a few numbers. So should the trip computer have this impact on my MPG or miles per 1/8 tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomberlegacy Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Fill it up and try again maybe? Some stations don't get mine quite as full as others. Not a huge deal but worth a few miles at least. If it really is rich enough to get 11mpg, you'd get a rich CEL '08 Legacy 2.5i - hybrid intake - delta 1000 - E85 - magnaflow exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bersa2 Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Good news is my BlueTooth kit came in today. It's installed, dash & center console restored. One more commute to make this week. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liljonson Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 You can't go by the gas gauge completely. Its not fully accurate on how much gas you have left.
