I wanted a great car to daily drive, since I always been impressed with its interior finition ( and I really didn't hate the look too ) I took the white tan combo.

Very nice and enjoyable to drive.


I have a question about its trip computer.

Fuel consumption is displayed in an entire number ( no fraction ) format. Just want to know how the computer decides to implement or decrement this result.

Does it round as we usually do; when consumption is by example 9.5 or higher it displays 10, when 9.4 it displays 9 or

it only shows the entire part of consumption result; 9 when it is 9.1 or 9.9 ?

Or there is a different rounding process between the increasing and decreasing ...

I would suspect the second possibility ...

Anybody knows about this? Thanks!


Yesterday for the first time, this computer showed 6! That means ( since it's a canadian car ) 6 Liters per 100 km! I did several times 7 and usually I stay in the 8-9 range ( like to push it sometimes! ).
 
I have owned two TL's so far.
First an 04 and recently traded up to an 07 Type-S.
I love the cars and feel for what you get with them you can't beat the price. Gas mileage is acceptable(25city30+hwy) for the size car.
Sorry, I don't have an answer to your question though.
