I have a 2006 Ram 1500 (I bought it used about a month ago). The MPG display in the console above the windshield had some surprising readings when I checked it one day last week. I watched it for about 45 minutes while driving and the readout ranged between 19 and 20.5 MPG. Could that really be an accurate reading?

Thanks

THANK YOU!!

 

Thanks for the link!

 

I reset mine one night on the interstate -- going downhill I was getting 99.9 mpg. Too bad not all my trips are downhill. Otherwise, the computer is probably 10%-20% optimistic. There is only one way to accurately calculate fuel mileage.
