Instantaneous Fuel Economy (IFE): Notes

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2007 GMC Yukon XL, 2007 GMC Yukon, 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2007 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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.
