just a reminder that if you dont manually reset the avg mpg display, it will show mpg since last reset, not per tank like it did in the 5th gen 4R display after each full tank fill
which annoys me to no end

@spyder40 , what is that phone app you're using? Is it just a basic Log app you adapted for fuel fill-ups and calculations?Will be interesting to see how much it drops in the cold

It's called Fillup in the Google Play Store. It's simple and works well@spyder40 , what is that phone app you're using? Is it just a basic Log app you adapted for fuel fill-ups and calculations?
What trim do you have?I still do not understand why there is such a disparity between the MPG values reported here. I get that a lift and different tires and such will likely affect mileage, but I would not expect the 25% or more difference being reported. Some even report nearly this different with mostly stock vehicles. I am still routinely getting around 23-24 MPG for highway/local roads (my drive to work is about 30 miles--20 miles freeway (but often some rush hour traffic) and the rest local roads. Of course off-road I get less but I generally ignore those numbers.
On one trip in Mammoth, CA, I went from where we were staying to a mountain top, did some photography, then returned--so the way out was almost all uphill, and unlike walking to school way back the return was all downhill. The car reported something like 15 MPG on the way up, and 55 MPG on the way back. Would be nice to get that second number more!
I don't get some of the really bad ones either. I am probably worst-case scenario for mileage. Most of my driving is speed limit 45-55, with a stop sign every single mile...And it's at least 8 miles to get to town. My worst tank so far (3k miles) is just under 19. Hand calculate every tank, 87 octane.I still do not understand why there is such a disparity between the MPG values reported here.

That sounds about right too in my experience.I don't get some of the really bad ones either. I am probably worst-case scenario for mileage.

On tanks where I did more normal driving, I'm hitting over 22.
