1996 850 turbo. My speedo and od are fine car is US based. when I bought this one Sunday the outside temp read in celsius, no problem I pushed the m and h at the same time and got Farenhiet. Problem solved, NOT. It appears the avg miles per gal, miles, and mpg are in liters or metric. Now for the kicker. The instant miles per gal go up to 16-19 when I floor it. and go down to 6-10 when I am coasting. My ave is around 10. the opposite of what one would think. What's up, did someone reverse a set of wires? The car appears to be getting around 20-22 mpg; by using the method of computing mpg prior to trip computers. You know, use a calculator and divide miles by gallons. HELP
