Hey Kev, did you reset the mpg readout after filling up? That number isn't going to change much if it starts averaging over several tankfulls.

 

When does that happen?

 

I'll get back to you..

 

Did tonight, and now up to 23.1 avg. So quickly coming up now ty. Should be just fine. I am feeling much better now. we still doing some faster starts and playing too and stop & go driving

 

I have a feeling we will be saying that too lol

 

Over 2 years now........Hi! I'm Woody and I have a problem.........

 

Took my new '08 out for it's first cruise with me last night. 8100 miles on the clock. Went from Burbank to Pomona..50 or so miles. At a steady 65mph the DIC said 34.2 Average to and 32.5 average roud trip with a bit of city driving in between.

 

Yeah to show how much our my town driving is , my avg speed is 24 mph lol. Im at 21.3. Ill take that

 

I calculate about 19 cobined and 25 highway. If I keep her at 65mph I can get 31.

 

I have recently been doing a 450 mile roundtrip of 90% clear freeway driving every weekend, for a couple of months, so a good chance to do some accurate mpg calcs. So far the DIC matches manual calculations exactly.

Traveling between the posted limits of 65 to 70 and the "flow of CA traffic" I average 30.6 MPG which I consider very good. (My lifetime average hovers around 27 mpg). My current tires have a pretty agressive tread, so I think a lower rolling resistance tire might do better. This is also without any effort to maximize mpg like some of the "hypermilers" and I am happy with it.
