For a couple months I just let the average gas mileage thing sit at 19.5 and it never changes because it has been so long since hitting the reset. but now there is 33K miles on the truck. Should be well broken in by now, so I hit the reset today just as I was getting on the interstate. So its recalculating as I am quickly accelerating to 70mph. It stops counting down at 18 mpg. Then through the course of the day half county road half city driving it climbed to 25.4 mpg. Holy crap, Ive never seen 25. So thinking this wont last I did a couple errands and it pretty much stayed around 25.3 or 25.4 in town. I guess I should just be happy because it cost me 90 bucks to fill up today as well!!!!

Have you figured it by hand?

Chrisj

No, before this new-fangled ave mpg thing I used to set a trip meter every fill up, now I keep forgetting. I guess Im spoiled

The 3.7 is a great engine for fuel economy

Chrisj

Sure is, and it pulls great too...even at 8,000 ft. A couple months ago we went to Denver and the truck was just as strong up some good grades at altitude as it is here at sea level

You need to calculate by hand. Your not getting 23.

In my 17500mile experience, the economy screen is within .2mpg when calcualting by hand.

about the same for me. about .2 to .4
after the first 10 or 15 miles after fill up my on-screen MPG's shoot up about 2 or 3 MPG, then slowly go back down to average. but not 23! more like 15 or 16
