It is frickin WAY off now...someone said I can adjust 15%. How do you do this with the VAG tool?

Default Module 17 - Instruments, Adaptation Channel 03

The range is 85% to 115%, in steps of 5%.
Reverse logic, setting it higher makes the MPG reading lower.

Default no, just manually calculate your fuel economy and if it's different then what your MPG reading is

for that tank of gas (by a large margin) then you may need to adjust your reading. It affects your Distance to empty reading too.

Default steve, once you've made the change could you let us know which setting is best?

my car is going in on Friday for GIAC, and I'd like to see if they could make this change as well while i'm at the shop...thanks in advance!
