No problem lpmiller, I discovered that during my extended drive.
 
What was interesting is when I turned off the DSC by holding it down for a few seconds I could not get it to turn back on without turning off and restarting the car.
 
Not sure if this is normal or not.

I have 09 Mazda 6 s Touring with 1100 miles on it so far. I drive 80% hwy 20% city and the INFO Button says I'm getting 19 MPG. My engine is still breaking in so by the time i get my first oil change, MPG should be in the 20s

You will get there. Don't worry.
 
In days were gas is on everyone's mind, we tend to watch our fuel economy a bit more then normal. A few of my V6 customers are getting an average of 22-23mpg. One stated he got as high as 27 on the highway. I was rather shocked by that.

dumb question, but have you reset that at all during those 1000 miles, between fillups? Seems kind of low to me.

No! I thought it resets by its self. So after every fill up you have to reset? How do you reset it?

Nothing to do with MPG!
Computers on all cars not accurate!
Need to fill the car drive till it's empty & refill.
Take total miles & devide by gallons of gas.
Only way to be accurate otherwise your just guessing!

Hey Barry,
 
Check out my post #98 on this forum. Albeit it was not many miles, but I found the computer on the 6 to be pretty close to calculating mileage the manual way.
 
I have read that some car's mpg computers are up to 3 mpg off though.

hold down the info button till it beeps, that resets the Average MPG.
 
For me, it's been pretty spot on for accuracy compared with my calculations.
