[QUOTE="Lou M, post: 1016505, member: 60944"] It seems to me that the computer takes the most recent AVG MPG and multiplies it by the level of fuel in the tank for the Total Miles Remaining number. The reason that I feel that this is the way you are seeing it is that on a recent trip I reset the "A" Miles Driven before going on a long freeway trip. Prior to that I was always seeing about 375 Total Miles Remaining on the full tank. Average MPG was usually 17 or so. When I stopped for gas I was seeing Average MPG at around 20. And Total Miles Remaining 435 on the full tank. But I do agree that freeway miles versus city miles are different due to the type of driving. The added weight once the truck is up to speed would be minimal. Just doing my part to add to the confusion... :cheeky: Hey I'm waiting for the paint to dry in my living room and have nothing else to do. Lou... [/QUOTE]
