Replying to: bren (Apr 16, 2007 2:17 pm) Did you reset the average mpg after you filled it up? If not, reset it after the next fill up and check it again. You will find it is much more accurate this way. Replies to this message: bren (Apr 19, 2007 2:56 pm)

Replying to: cptsesso (Apr 19, 2007 8:51 am) Yes, I have reset it each time. Today I filled up and calculated 17 mpg while the display claimed 18.7 mpg. So the display was 10% off again. Oh well. I'm curious if using synthetic oil and a K&N air filter would improve mpg a bit. I often read people claiming that doing this can add 1 or 2 mpg, but I did both things for my previous car just a month before selling it, and they basically had no impact.
