how to see your average fuel economy in realtime... - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Previously, I read somwhere that if on the DIC you went to average fuel economy page and held the "set/clr" button as you drove you would see your fuel economy change in realtime. I tried it and found out you do not have to continue holding the button down, only until it beeps. Then you can release it and see your fuel economy change in realtime.

Thanks I'll try it. So far very happy with fuel MPG's at 23 to 25 combo of country and interstate driving with my 1 SS auto with 3,400 miles on it.

I've done that but it's not telling you anything, just changing numbers. What's the point?

I think what you meant is "instantaneous" MPG not average, thus constantly varying. No?

Im a little disappointed in the features of the DIC so far. The 09 lancer that I just sold had all kind of features on it. To compare with this conversation the lancer had a bar graph that showed the real time gas millage and underneath it your gas millage average and speed. as you pushed the pedal among many other things.

holding the button resets the average fuel economy. Good for when you want to test it at certain speeds. Obviously you don't hold it forever lols.

Your from Fl go to Kennedy and watch the space shuttle count down if you want a safer way to see numbers count down. Now it's my turn to..

If you get into an accident because of the DIC, you don't deserve to be on the road. Its right in front of you all you have to do to look at it is move your eyes a little down.
And just in case you don't realize it, there are people here who care about saving gas so you should stop posting on this thread if you think its stupid.

Yeah and I bet you do well driving with a doughnut in your mouth while talking on the cell phone and putting on your makeup. Oh my bad you might not be a girl but your cute pink dancing milk carton has me confused. Get it right dim wit I didn't say it was stupid!

kdoske · 06-28-2009, 01:16 AM

Oh the joys of the internet! Thanks guys, your anger and frustration entertain us all.

P.S. My dad is WAY better then your dad--just sayin.

stop posting period, your smart @ss remarks aren't going to get you very far especially when insulting people in that manner.
PS, the pink milk carton has meaning to it.. if you were around enough you'd realize a lot of members had it as an avatar to help 'pinkcamaro' keep the faith and not cancel her order.
