Update:
Did not take me long to figure out how to manipulate the code.
(1) I forced the program to boot up as default in metric by changing the following value from a 1 to a 2 under mpguino.conf file.(This was for version v0.97 credit to Meelis .)
#define CFG_UNITS 2 /* 1=US 2=METRIC */
(2) Changed start up text to display my name and vehicle and vehicle model .Mine now reads at same time :
Bradley top string on LCD
Subaru Legacy bottom string on LCD
(3) Changed Text startup to 5 seconds as the previous 1500 ms was very short .
All good and now to test it on the bench for a day or two and find a good mounting for it .
As mentioned I am using the arduino UNO as I was stuck on drivers for my arduino due boards and they were not being detected-thanks WINdoff.
With this I am hoping to be able to read real time especially when I am doing so much changes and a full tank of fuel is way too long to measure and react .
