It does change a bit.
When I got the truck the dealership had it filled to 599 to empty. I've filled up the truck twice and can't get the reading to 599. I wonder if there is a trick to it.

My readout is also 1-1.5 mpg higher than hand calculated. I'm getting about 13 by hand right now. Is is kinda hard though to fill up to the exact same spot each time you put gas in due to temp or angle of truck. I know that would make a difference but I don't know how much.

Do most reset the avg mile back to zero or do you just fill up and keep going with the avg already on the readout?
Does it make a difference?
So far, my lowest reading is 13 mpg by hand.

You guys are doing pretty well! Last winter I had an average of 9mpg until I got my Edge, then it went to 11. I lived 3 miles from school and drove there 5 times a week, this also includes the 15minutes it took to warm the truck up. (School was in Fairbanks, multiple -20 days, +10 is t-shirt weather)

The worse I have ever seen was 15.5 hand calculated, and that was idling around half the day in parking lots with air running in 100 deg. Texas heat. I usually average 16 to 17 mpg. My truck is a 2010 STX SC 2wd 4.6 2v.
