Like I tell People that ask me about the mileage...If I was going to worry about it I'd have bought a Honda and deal with all the problems their owners won't talk about.

I drive 25 miles each way to work, backroads and city streets. I get 17-18.
also if you hold trhe button in on the computer, it will reset and you get a much closer representation of how you are doing on that tank, trip, week or whatever.

Gas mileage? Fuel consumption? Oh, wait right I get 'E'.

That is, when the needle hits 'E' I stop at a gas station and put gas into the hole in the back until the needle hits 'F'. Then I drive again until the needle hits 'E' again. Am I wrong for doing this? huh.

If I drove until it hit "E" I'd be royally screwed. Hell, I start looking for a gas station right at 1/4 tank.

Keep in mind, I haven't done the mods yet. With my TJ and 35's I'd go looking for a gas station at half a tank. Now that thing was awful, I'd fill up 3 times a week. Yeehaw!
