My Ranger's MPG calculations, what?

[Roly]

Maybe I'm missing something here, it has happened before; but it seems to me that you can see instantaneous MPG or total average MPG only on the dash. It looks like the average is for all the miles and gallons since 0 on the odometer. What use is that?

I wanted to reset MPG in Trip A,(or Trip B) since filling up, to get MPG for that tank of gas, but couldn't.

I have done much town driving in my 450 miles since purchase, and my average MPG reads out as 13.6. (Average speed about 14 MPH, too...??? This is a far cry from suggested town MPG. ( I put about 60 highway miles on the truck when I drove it home from the dealer.)

Do any of you knowledgeable folks have any insight on , A) MPG readout on the dash, or B) The MPG number I'm seeing. Owner's manual does not address this in detail.

Thanks, Roly

To reset either trip's averages, go to that trip's calculator page (the one that shows the averages and fuel remaining) and hold down the "OK" button on your steering wheel until it indicates that the trip's averages have been reset. To reset the averages in the other menu, you have to go to each individual screen for what you want to reset and hold down the "OK" button to reset the numbers.

Well, I did miss something. Didn't mash that button down long enough.

(Hope the smoke isn't bad there.)

Thanks, Roly

When you hold the OK button you can see the blue progress line and have to wait for it to get to the end to clear it back to 0.
