    The HSI provides average fuel consumption data (since last "reset"). My question is for those who use the Metric system mode:

    Can anyone tell me how many digits after the decimal point are displayed for fuel consumption when it is displayed in L/100km?

    Just one digit after the decimal. Given the discrepancies of 5-8% noted by owners as compared to actual calculated numbers, more than one digit would not make sense anyway.

    Thanks for answering my question!

    Note however that when talking about discrepancies, what you are referring to is accuracy. Personally, I am interested in precision. If the inaccuracy is constant and you can quantify it, then precision is what you need. That is why I was interested in knowing the number of digits after the decimal point.

    Thanks again!
