I find it easier to understand if I convert it to MPG so I just press the button. If it is in fact US gallons, it would throw the whole thing off as the US gallon is smaller. Now I got myself confused trying to explain this.

Rambit confused, surely not.

When I first got Arnie the EVIC was showing taht I was getting about 30 mpg - which I wasn't to happy with. Once I did a fuel tank to fuel tank measurement and did the maths, it was confirmed to me that the EVIC was doing titchy l'al US gallons rather than our more manly UK version.
Now that the computers been flashed to read Imperial gallons, I'm pleased to say that my computer and fuelling system confirm that I'm getting 36.2 miles per imp gallon of diesel.
