Thread: Over 30!

I got 32.2 on my last tank. This is the first time the DIC was pessimistic, it showed 30.5. It's usually two to three MPG optimistic.

I overfilled the last tank and the tank threw up (gas spill), so I'm not sure how accurate this is.
I did run the ECO button, the first time I've done that since it was new. Then, it seemed to make little difference. Perhaps the critter had to learn my driving habits. It short-shifts noticeably now. I see from the manual that if you WFO or the cruise control needs more power, the computer will override the ECO.

Stay posted for more details over the next couple of tanks. If this proves real, it's very good news to me.

careful about putting too much fuel in as they recommend just fill it till it clicks off, as it can cause problems in the vent system on the filler. I find that on my AVERAGE reading, sometimes its pessimistic, sometimes optimistic when I compare it to my manual calculations.

When I first saw the thread heading I thought it was referring to age

I thought this thread was referring to age as well. Lol

But yeah over 30 mpg is great! Not sure what kind of mileage I'll get. Can't wait to find out though! :-D

Congrats, on a recent trip i had a 30.3 tank and a 31.6 mpg, manually calculated. So if you are not hot footed it can happen. I find that the eco makes a difference in town because of fast upshifts, but does not effect highway mileage because there is no shifting. Always use the cruise control as much as you can, even in town where possible.
