Does anyone know if thy vy trip computer can be reprogramed as mine seems to read incorectly for example the other day I was sitting on 90kph in sixth gear and pushed reset on trip computer and it sat on a reading of about 9l per 100k's for about 10 mins then into town drove the car alot harder at traffic lights etc went to 18L per 100ks then back to work on the same stretch 90 in sixth for 10 mins no wind etc and the trip computer stayed arround 17 to 18 L per100 k's and for the rest of the day remains at between 18 and 20 l per 100k's but at the pump returns 14 to 15 L per100 k's it seems the only way to get an accurate reading is when you reset trip meter but once you get your worst readings it hovers arround there. :(

Trip distance and fuel used can be recalibrated through the setup menu on startup. The manual explains it pretty well...
