my old boss had a saying;

There's no such think as 'mechanic in a can'...
(pause)
Unless, I'm in there (pointing to toilette)

The economy reading on the DIC was never accurate in my 2.4... you need to the calculations by hand, ideally the average of a few tanks. I recall the DIC reading far too high the first year, and then low the next year.

my DIC usually reads pretty accurate, well as accurate as an average can be. try resetting the DIC jordan and see what your live fuel economy is.

I usually get about 320KM to a tank but I have a lead foot. Ever since my two calgary trips (which I got about 620KM to a tank on) I average at 420KM to a tank.

Haha, I guess! I'll see what's going on with people close to the time i'm going.

Sunday works for me.

I reset my DIC every fill up. So I filled today and it was at 12.6 for that tank of gas. Usually it's like 11.3

... as long as you're not going to exclude the tube variety
... ditto for cutting them up, and mixing them in with cheese-noodles
