I was almost outta gas today driving 65 on the highway and then when I got off the highway I was driving at fifty. Taking it easy as possible. Anyway after probably after 20 miles my truck read 26.4 and when I toke this pick it went to 26.5. As soon as u start driving normal it goes right to 19.4. And it has the 20 fx4 wheels on it.

I have a 2011 FX4 and this dash readout doesn't come close to comparing what mine shows; in other words, the dash itself looks nothing like a 2011 FX4.
Reset the readout without touching the gas on a downhill slope and maybe this 26.5 readout could be accurate for a moments notice However, the best I've seen with a normal readout is 22.4 and only in the right circumstance; early in a new tank of gas, resetting the readout, with highway mileage, and over no more than a 12 mile trip.
As much as I'd like to say , I'm just not buying this one.

I have the same truck setup and i drove at 55mph with a 30-35mph tail wind and reset my mileage. It was only like 6 miles until i had to turn but i was over 25mpg. It was a dead flat highway and of course this is realistic circumstances, but it was doing it

You could probably get 100mpg coming out of Flagstaff, Az to anywhere.
