Default I did not get 30 mpg's at highway speeds today

I'm also not averaging 29.2 mpg's over 865 miles right now. I really get 18mpgs when I am driving 35mph downhill with a tailwind.

Evidently my posts will get deleted if I say the contrary so let's keep everyone happy and in their "safe space".

As someone who is not involved in your little pissing contest on MPG's, just shutup already. You are by far the most irritating person I have encountered on this forum to date.

Driving 30 min on the intestate after resetting the trip computer while already at speed is not a representative sample size. Do that for a full tank, hand calculate the data at the pump, and then I will be impressed.

Awesome! Be careful with that language though, multiple people reported my post and I got reprimanded for saying "the butt hurt should increase".

You're late to the party, it was covered in my previous thread.

It seems to me that I'm being taunted more than I've taunted anyone, no? A productive thread with pertinent information in it was deleted, why? You said my "butt hurt" comment was reported several times so I apoligized & edited it. What am I missing and who am I taunting? Asking seriously, not sarcastically.

Taunt and disregard for my previous guidance. You were not reprimanded.

You're seeking out arguments. Your previous thread got trashed because of arguments and an overall lack of use, so you started another one (this one), and your first post started right in with the poking. I see other users responding to your actions, not other users trying to start fights. They're only responding to what you began.

Here is where I'm currently at. I filled up at 605 miles (I have the 23 gallon tank). At that fill up the dash said 29 mpg's, the truck took 22.3 gallons so it worked out to 27.1 mpg hand calculated.

Anyone can game a computer to give a desired result. Your results are unimpressively meaningless because they do not represent real average driving MPG. I guess it's fun that you can drive in a way that shows 30+ mpg... but you come off like a child by the way you present yourself.

Enjoy your coming ban.
