Put the readout into KM and they read the same.I just noticed, for some reason, that the "remaining range" displayed on the speedo binnacle is always one mile less than the range displayed on the multi-function screen, even after re-setting the trip computer. Anyone else have that problem? The other known glytch is that the four figure trip recorder on the dash has only a leading 1, i.e. there is a display limit of 1999. When converting, say 1500 miles to KM, which is about 2400KM, only the last three digits are displayed. So the 1500 miles when converted displays as 400KM. |

ahahah brilliant. I wasn't too worried because the gauge was accurate otherwise, and one mile hardly makes a difference, but it is a fairly weird thing nevertheless. Do Citroen ever plan on releasing a C4 properly converted for non-continental Europeans? |

I always thought we missed an opportunity during the fuel shortages a couple of years ago (naff all traffic so easier to test etc) to at least start planning a change over from RHD to LHD and to adopt the metric system. It makes far more sense to me to switch over, especially for the speed limits and distances. Ireland seemed to manage just fine. |

I'll be honest I agree with conversion to metric (I was born in the 80s, I don't understand feet and inches). Moving the handbrake over and giving me a keyhole on the driver's side would be nice though!! Conversion to the euro, however, would be a big mistake. We should go back to a pre-maastricht treaty europe, with economically & politically separate but cooperating nations, it would be more powerful and adapt better to adverse conditions (like we have right now) |

Despite being a bit gerry, I had SI units bashed into me for my A levels in 1968. Forty years on, there's been little change. As for the Euro, the cost of the transition would be astromonic, but after that I can't see a problem other than from people who still think the British Empire exists. |

Why not enforce that as of Monday we all drive on the right as well?

As I said, the cost of transition is emornous, but the Swedes managed it in 1967! | ||

I was also born in the 80s, but find that I use imperial for some things and metric for others, some metric measurements mean absolutely nothing to me, whereas some imperial measurements sound like they are from the Ark! |

I had algebra and logarithims bashed into me Funny how I have never ever found a use for them Imperial/Metric well I have worked in both (at the same time) so never an issue and I'm older than you John

The problem with converting over to the euro isn't some sort of UKIP style nationalism, but you completely lose control of your own economy. Europe is still composed of separate economies, all based on different things (agriculture, service economy, knowledge based economy, manufacturing) and to try and control everything from a single source, with "one size fits all" inflation and soforth is a disaster. | ||

And as interesting a discussion as this is about the euro, considering the recent comments - Click Here - by Barroso, I can't help thinking we've wandered off topic and it's maybe best continued elsewhere? This was originally about fuel gauge accuracy. |
