Fuel Consumption.
#51
Consistently have gotten 19.5 - 20mpg in my stock unlimited X. Lots of highway miles though, about 25miles both ways 65mph.
1. Just put in synthetic, will report any improvements (my guess: 0)
2. I'm about to install 285x75x16 terra grapplers and new alloy wheels(soon as tires arrive). I'm reading anywhere from 1-4 mpg decrease for various types of 33's.
3. CAI - supposively 1-2 increase, we'll see!
4. Voodoo Magic - increase proportional to live sacrifices
Ideally I'd like to keep 20mpg, but I'd live with 18-19.

One for every Troll should do the trick.
We are getting about 17mpg average, wifes dd, auto stock 245/75/16 & 3.73:1 rear.
Last fall on our trip out West, we got best ever freeway mileage 19.5-21 from Texas into New Mexico with a strong tail wind.

According to my astrologer, we need 321 of these threads before the stars will align and our mileage improves.
Also, according to my voodoo priest, we need to respond to every post whether we like to or not. Apparently you see the same guy I do.

Mileage
I travel 60 miles minimum every day to work and back. I get 21.7 average miles per gallon. I have checked over several tanks and over 1 tank and it is always about the same plus or minus a few points.

I found that if you keep your fingers off of the reset button for a while, the dash mileage will line up very close to computed mileage (miles since last fill divided by number of gallons to fill tank). I track every drop of gas and track it in a spreadsheet (obsessive-compulsive?)

So if I understand correctly the figure that shows is the average gas mileage, not the gas mileage that you are currently getting given the driving conditions? Am I correct on that? And when you say reset, are you talking about the push and hold, or does scanning through other functions also reset it? (Obviously Newbie questions - but what the hell!) This is the first vehicle that I have owned that provides this type of information.
