Meanwhile, back at the ranch..........

A robust discussion on calculating mpg's turns into an opportunity to express bitterness towards change.   FWIW I've enjoyed $5 per US gallon gas for years.  It fluctuates between bad and worse.  I don't know all of the variables with respect to pricing and climate impact but the push to reduce consumption and dependence has been around since I started driving, 50 years ago.  I sense a couple of members believe this push is as recent as this past year!  I agree that our DiC's can be more accurate but they are accurate enough for my needs.   I always make fuel consumption a top consideration when looking for a truck.  The built in consumption gauge helps me to improve my driving habits.

Even though mine is off by a good amount directionally it is still useful in the endeavor to improve ones driving habits.. 
Agreed.

 

It is not however accurate enough to 'brag' as if it were true.  

Absolutely not accurate enough to sustain any reasonable, rational argument of efficiency.
