Doesn't have to be lying. Many of us really get that or more on a regular basis!
What I like is seeing the 800 miles to empty or whatever it comes out to. I think it maxes out in the upper 700's, because even on a long stretch of road where I am getting 25+ it never shows 900-1000 like it should. Not sure exactly how is calculates the DTE but I am guessing it uses like the last 100 miles or something. Also must use a few gallons safety factor in the mix too.

I’ll check it when I fill up again. It was about a half MPG higher than calculated on the last fill up, but that was only 17.5. Different driving conditions though.
