Correction Factor of Fuel Consumption

Remember, since your MPG is HIGH, you will use a positive correction factor since it is reading fuel consumption as being lower than it actually is.



If I want an 8% increase in fuel consumption, to lower the displayed MPG by 8%, what number is used for the correction factor ?
+8, +.08, ??


Thanks
Greg

You would simply enter 8. IIRC it won't allow you to enter anything other than integers.
