Sone once you put the battery back in everything went to zero and your current DTE is based on the average L/100km. As you do more fwy driving your avg will drop and DTE go up.When I did mine I went for a 2km spin and my DTE was about 250km on a full tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live near Crows Nest/Neutral Bay and with all the hills and traffic lights and short trips my wife does to the shops we get around 14.4l/100kms AVG at about 33km/h AVG. We went to Berowra on the weekend and I got it down to 11l/100kms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
