In my opinion this would be better candidate for trying: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...eeo.rtadvanced as it *should* access more data. But I doubt Torque can handle it other than to display.
last "official" answer on official Torque Pro forum i have found is silence. (see: Forums — » Torque OBD ECU Scanner » Torque Discussion / Ideas » MPG Calculation for Diesel PUTorque)
(BTW: you dashboard looks very similar to mine - and in previous versions of Logan there was instant MPG readout option on that odometer display. But around 2009 they cancelled it "because it was distracting drivers too much - as they told me. Don´t you have one? (I have just average MPG, always 0,3 l/100 km too optimistic.) |
It looks like that extra-renault sensors app does not influence MPG read outs... it is also advertised for newer cars (Clio III onwards - mine is a Clio II) so doubt it would work.
My car doesn't have it's own MPG read out... but the some of the higher trim models did (though I believe they still didn't do instant - just trip).
I am now wondering if my volumetric efficiency could have anything to do with it... I cant find any specific figures for my car/engine, but have read that turbo diesels can have an efficiency at and over 100% (it is currently set at the default 85%).
I might post up in the torque forums and see if I can get a response...
