Hey all!
This is actually my first post since getting my Grand Prix, but I haven't had time (and daylight) to take any pics. Anyway, the fuel gauge on the main cluster is not showing up correctly, and obviously I haven't had time to replace the fuel sensor sending unit thing yet, but while driving around this evening looking for dinner, it occurred to me that I might be able to use the "fuel used" feature on the minidisplay above the radio... It doesn't appear to use the same sensor as the fuel gauge, it almost appears to add up the amount of fuel injected in each cylinder each time ............. but that seems a little strange to me, maybe not?
If that's the case, I'm figuring I can get a pretty good estimate (and maybe even more accurate than the analog dial) of how much fuel is left in my tank by subtracting the fuel used from the tank size and reset IT instead of (or in addition to) the trip odometer each fill up.
The way the readout changed over time seemed to match with what I'd expect from my drive after resetting the "fuel used," also.
Other note is that I reset the MPG calculator feature as well at the same time... and IT ALSO behaved as I would expect so far...
Does anyone KNOW what readout that comes from? Now I'm just plain curious ...
I'll continue testing no matter what and let you guys know what I find out ...
Thanks,
Tom
