Secondly, test its accuracy with the old fashioned keeping track of miles between fills.

Has anyone gotten some miles on their sedan automatic, and recorded MPG numbers? BTW, the computer is not always correct, the most accurate way to measure MPG is to divide miles driven by gallons used, when you fill up. I'm looking at a sedan, and would be happy to read they can consistently get over 30 MPG on the road.

Even that isn't always accurate since most people don't fill up from the same pump every time nor do they click off at the same time when the car's tank is full. We do have some Suzuki sedan mpg discussions here: Suzuki Forenza Real World MPG Suzuki Verona Real World MPG |

Replying to: harleybabe6 (Mar 24, 2008 6:02 am) I reset mine at every tank, try to use the same pump, and the same two extra jolts once the cutoff has kicked. |

Replying to: harleybabe6 (Mar 31, 2008 5:48 am) When in the city, I up shift to 5th as soon as possible, as it moves along nicely in 5th without lugging, as long as there is no grade. I watch the instantaneous mpg readout all the time, as it re-trains you to drive for better mileage as you try to keep the number high. When on an expressway, I try to find a truck to draft behind that is going about as fast as I want to go. It makes a difference of several extra miles per gallon and you don't have to be on the guy's bumper...just reasonably close and alert. Your readout will tell when you've hit the right spot. If you ever plan to to drive faster than 70 mph, you should have something in front, or your mileage will suffer accordingly. My overall reading (I have not re-set it since buying the car) is 30.3 mpg. Given the weight and AWD capability, I think that is pretty good. It would probably be higher if I re-set it and started over now.
