Changed my gauge settings to metric

JingChai · 04-07-2015, 02:00 AM

I'm probably the only member here that's changed the settings to all metric ( C, L/100km, km, kPa). Since this car is designed in SI I figured it only make sense to show it as such right?

I had an Asian friend try out my car yesterday and he was pleasantly surprised. He said 10.6L/100 km made a lot more sense to him than 22 mpg.

Yes, you are the only member who has done that in 9 years. (Sarcasm font)

Hybridz0rz · 04-07-2015, 06:48 AM

You have chosen the superior measuring standard

Delta0311 · 04-07-2015, 06:52 AM

You have chosen wisely.

Nitrousbird · 04-07-2015, 07:10 AM

Yes, because it is always fun to do the speed conversion in your head everywhere you drive.

VTECaddict · 04-08-2015, 01:17 AM

Whatever works for you. The car actually does use metric units in it's computer but converts to imperial units for US displays.

BashShah · 04-08-2015, 01:33 AM

I converted mine to metric also.
It's a USA car imported into Canada and up here we are all metric.

Don't really have a choice in it.

good luck selling your car to an idiot... he might think the car is pulling 2.5 seconds for 0-60

Ha! Metric - how delightful - I think I've heard of it

Back in my earlier school days, many years ago, the school system had a proposal to learn all us stoopid Mercans' that highly touted system, to bring us away from the Darkside

Too bad that we're also stubborn - so the whole idea of converting us wholly over to metric was shitcanned - as well it should have been

Of course that's only if you don't believe the conspiracy theory that it was all filmed on a movie lot

JingChai · 04-10-2015, 04:23 PM

I'm going to see if I can keep this car long than my dad had his E60, which should be coming up on 10 years later this year.

10 years metric or 10 years imperial?
