MPG on Dash
MPG on Dash
Just wondering what you guys are getting mpg wise on the dashboard display…I don't know if thats the true mileage I'm getting. 21.6mpg seems low for a 2.5s that is driven lightly….

Welcome to NICO!
When was the last time you reset the gauge?

Re: MPG on Dash
What they said.
If you are resetting the trip meter and the average MPG gauge at each fillup, you should be getting something around 10% over your conventional calculated mileage (although that can fluctuate wildly under certain conditions). Keep a tab on the calculated mileage as a comparison. If you know how to use a spreadsheet, like Excel, or Google Sheets, keep all your entries there -- something along the lines of this thread versa-real-world-mileage-against-trip-c ... l#p6615408. Keeping a close eye on MPG can alert you to changes in your car's performance that might indicate issues that need attention, as well as fuel sonsumption, operating costs, etc.
Happy driving!

Re: MPG on Dash
last I looked I was getting 26.8 MPG; that's city driving on the 3.5, so I'd say there's something not right going on with your car.
Re: MPG on Dash
I have 2 questions. How do I reset my gage. And why is my gage saying I'm only getting 15.9 to 16.9 on a good day......any help?
