    Randomness. Thought this would be fun to know.

    When your driving...

    What do you leave your information center on?

    Avg MPG, Range, Oil Life, etc, Don't care?

    Mine stays on Avg. Do you glance at it all the time?

    im on instant avg all the time, un less i want to know what it thinks are my mpg.

    instant works like a vac gauge, the less gas you give the higher the #'s, the more gas the lower it goes.

    its a 98 with 222,000 on the clock. that may have something to do with it.

    also my max mile per tank is 300, (that seems to be on par with a lot of others) all highway too. but on the highway ill see 28 to 30 + if on flat ground and doing 70 or or more. i got hills here, and they really kill the mpg avg.
