Hi frank,

	What model Audi are you driving and where did it come from? I could be
wrong, but I think there is a way mentioned in my Bentley to switch my
multifunction computer from l/100km to mpg. Sometimes if I switch from the
boost function to the mpg function rapidly( 2 clicks on the left button) the
display reads, what I believe are, l/100km very briefly then switches to mpg.
Strange, yet wonderful, cars we drive...kinda like women...strong in many ways,
fragile in others, but a lot of fun when everything is working right:-) I
apologize for my un-PC observation:-} Nomex to my knees and rising rapidly...

						happy motoring,
