Stupid Question
Hey guys as you know I just recently got my 1993 Bonneville SSEi
well I am curious is there a way that I can monitor the instant fuel econ?
I know I have thr trip button but does the DIC display instant/avg fuel econ?
Sorry don't have an owner'* manual
Thanks for your help

No there isn't an electronic way to do it. You're gonna have to use the old school method of the math......Calculating mileage of the the gallons burned.

Electronic ones aren't 100% accurate if you really want to nit pick though. They are based off of OE fuel pressure specs, and injector pulses/widths. But they're close enough not to matter.
Mmmm about the only thing the car didn't come with. Would be nice to have though. I love the way my buddies truck shows 10mpg at 70 on the highway until he hits it..then it says 0mpg lol
haha that'* funny
I wonder why pontiac did not equip these kind of info on the bonneville....everything else is so advanced in the car. Very curious I say...... very curious

I don't think GM felt it was important. Only line to have it ...and I'm guessing here was Cadilac.
Chrysler/Dodge put it on everything. And I don't know why with the mileage they are currently getting why the manufacturer would want to advertise...but they give it to nearly every car.

I have a 2000 SSEi with the DIC. You push the mode button until 'vehicle data' comes up.
Push the select' botton until ' fuel economy instn MPG' comes up. Thats the way it works on the 2000.
