Well, make sure you reset it, in case you haven't already done that....

2nd, calculate it by hand, most people refer to the overhead as the lie-o-meter...

Stock Regular cabs I think can average 15/19 keeping your foot out of it...

honestly i'm not leaning in on the throttle 24/7 but there are little bouts of acceleration, honestly 95% of the time driving under normal/conservative acceleration
