Q: dte is distance to empty. an example of use would be if you are leaving a town and your dte shows about 50 miles but the highway sign indicates the next town is 100 miles it seems likely that you couldnt make it. so fill er up now. peter wrote as an aside for me the most valuable calculation that trip computer does is dte. it often helps me to decide to refill now or later. ive never been able to figure that dte stuff out... im owner manual-less ; peter .

stealerships hmmmmm... there would be hell to pay in this ng if i referred to customers in such a disparaging manner...... but stealerships passes thru with comment...... double-standard surely not! mike i have found it is all in the presentation. my 05 2500qc cummins 4x4 has the dreaded vibe. talked to the sm and the shop foreman and they agreed to send both shafts out to be balanced then if need be change the pinion angle. if that fails to do it they will get the factory rep involved. cant ask for more than that. well it shouldnt have the vibe in the first place. roy .

alan petrillo asp@baylink.com wrote in joe wrote my proof is what most people are experiencing right now. normal is how most people drive. most people do not drive the way advertised i.e. maximum mileage is achieved. thats not normal. the next time you go out on the road observe how most people drive. theyre not driving at a steady 45 on a flat smooth road with no defroster or a/c on and the windows all rolled up. theyre speeding up slowing down turning going up and down hills using their accessories etc. thats normal. ah. you mean like the city course that is used to determine the city mileage rating ap no read it again like the real world driving that everybody does every day. .
