Instantaneous Fuel Economy (IFE): Notes
Instantaneous fuel economy (IFE) is calculated using the equation: IFE = Distance/Fuel Used.
- Distance = The accumulated distance travelled for the last 2 seconds
- Fuel = The accumulated fuel delivered for the last 2 seconds
The IPC receives a GMLAN message from the ECM. The distance information is calculated by the IPC using the vehicle speed information from the ECM. These values are retained during ignition OFF and can be changed between English and Metric units accessing the DIC English/Metric menu. The IFE display cannot be reset.
