Default Fuel Mileage & Average MPG

Here is a first for me. For once the mileage I got was actually higher than the Average MPG on the instrument cluster read. Usually it is at least 1.5 mpg less than the average reads.

Yep, you're correct about it usually reading 1.5MPG better than it is in reality. In your case it would depend on when you last reset the readout, as this has a big effect on the average reads it displays.

I didn't consider there would be much difference.
Now, I'm gonna have to check the MPG myself and compare to what the computer shows.
