Replying to: ateixeira (May 11, 2009 12:48 pm) Took two months to accomplish this. Actual MPG, 4890 miles divided by 197 gallons = 24.8 mpg. The trip computer has not been set since I got the vehicle & that is "hovering" between 25.5 and 25.8. I had a 2006 Tribeca and, if I recall (if you have Nav) after 10,000 miles it stops recording the time used, but, it continues to show avg mpg. What I do is leave one trip odometer alone and will not reset it until I get to approx 10,000 miles. The other one I reset every time I fill up. I have been able to record as high as 28.5 on the trip computer, actual best mpg for one tankful 27.9. It does seem to be getting better as I put on more miles, but could also be no longer using winter fuel.
