Lovely! There's another recent thread about 7.5mpg. Maybe you could give that fellow some tips on how to move things up a bit.

I regularly got 22-23 MPH at 65 and one I time got over 26MPG so I have no problem believing it. I have pics of the 26.3MPG EVIC reading too but you will get a lot of those who just don't want to believe it throwing a tizzy. When the EVIC reads 12 or 14MPG it suddenly becomes accurate…….Sadly, since putting on the 93 tune, I get 14-15MPG at 70 now.

Just push the upper right button on the steering wheel when it is in mpg mode.

Did a 100 mile highway round trip with my regular cab/3.55 gears/Hemi, and did 21.5 there, and 20.5 back at 60 to 65mph.
Taking an average on a round trip on the same day tends to compensates for grades and other factors and gives you a more accurate average mph reading.
