MPG estimate in car doesn't change anymore????

[rjdmmfl1]

OK, when I first got the coupe, the MPG estimate would change depending on how I was driving from day to day. Sometime over the last month, it stopped changing. Neither the MPH meter or the MPG estimates change. It just reads 18.8 MPG and 26.2 MPH.

Anyone have any suggestions or should I take it to the dealership? Or is this normal after a few months?

well if you dont reset it... its just using all the data i assume... so its calculating 8,000 miles of avg driving.... reset it to see newer results... no?

Law of averages.

The more miles total on the car, the more wide variations it takes to change the average.

Think about it - When the car was new, it was "learning". Now, it has a lot of miles, and it'll take a lot of "extremes" to swing the average one way or another.

Gotcha. That makes total sense, I was just worried because it seemed like it just stopped changing one day! But when you put it that way, that makes sense! I guess it was changing alot before because I was always resetting it since I was doing so many mods and disconnecting the battery like every week for the first few months. Haven't done mods lately, so I haven't reset the trip computer, thus what both of you said makes total sense.

hey I'm a doctor, not an engineer! lol... thanks fellas

Couple of questions for you:1) Where'd you do your med school? (What was the min GPA accepted?)

how r u resetting the cpu?

Its those 2 little buttons to the left of the steering wheel on the dash. The left button will scroll through your menu, the right button will reset the particular calculation.

my mpg went down after i got my intake, and worse after the exhaust .... Yesterday I drove til I was empty and that was about 300 miles on the tripmeter on a whole tank. So we're looking at 300miles/20 gallons = 15mpg? jeez.

[adidas2go]

hmmm. I get around 16 mpg and I drive fast constantly

Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Baltimore, MDAvg GPA for entering students was 3.86 , there's no real minimum when it comes to GPAs, they can range from 3.5 to 4.0, usually someone with a 3.5 has alot of other things to strengthen their application, i.e. great standardized test scores, letters of recommendation, prior research experience, etc.
