I think some of you must be driving up-hill and not noticing it. It's easy to do. I drove across a bridge one time and the read-out showed nearly 30mpg. Then I took it the other way and it sat on 22-23 mpg. Apparently, this 2 mile long bridge was NOT flat/level. It sure looked it, though! Easy to do. Average your mileage going both ways on the same stretch of highway for accurate measurement. Last edited by ImportConvert; 06-30-2011 at 07:45 AM. |

That was over @125 miles. I'm with you. .4mpg over 100+ miles? Who cares? You put gas in it when you touch 1/4 tank and that's that. People should stop being such nigglers.
