Today just to check outside temp I pressed trip comp. And I noticed that my mpg is 29.7mpg. I don't think it's correct. I'm a lead foot for the past two fill ups to test it's worst mpg. I am expecting 16-18 mpg but after 95 miles left for range this is the reading. There's something wrong.
One time also I am at the stop light slightly uphill(if that matters) and the mpg(the dynamic mpg clock) got stuct at 50mpg! Could this be it?

If that is the problem, it's a software glitch that needs to be checked. I'll make some phone calls tomorrow to area dealers in Austin, San Antonio, Houston if this is a known issue.

Do a search on mileage and trip computer, there have been several reports of the trip meter doubling the mpg. I don't recall if anyone figured out a cause for this.

I've flirted with 27 mpg - warm car, filled up and immediately got on the highway, and there have been other reports of pretty high mileage. Doesn't sound like you're one of those right now!

BTW, what happened to your temperature display?

"BTW, what happened to your temperature display?"

I took the shot with engine off.

If you look at the TRIP, I have 388 miles with this tank so I'm pretty much toward empty. Last I remember I got about 95miles more. Averaging 29mpg in Austin traffic is wonderful if correct. Almost at par with a Civic.

Also I've been complaining here before about getting 17mpg average with feather-feet 50/50 city/hway, oh well...

Is the 388 mile trip correct?! We fill up around 300 mi (1/4 tank left) and run 16.5-17 mostly city, avg speed 25.

Important: Does your 388 on the navi display reconcile with the trip function on the odometer (dash)? If so, you might actually be getting that mileage, although that's still pretty high mph at a 45-50 avg average clip according to Ghost's old MPG data collection.

I just checked. the dash trip odo does not reconcile at all. And I didn't reset it.

It reads 14.5 miles while the trip computer says 388 miles. Could it be that its been 14.5 miles since mess up?

..and look at my glove box, it's misaligned too.

Nah -- you gotta manually reset the TRIP A/B deal on the odo seperately. The nav and trip computer aren't attached to it. I was hoping maybe you had reset it since it's a different system altogether...

Nah! not at all.
Or did it hit 999miles?

Just today I filled up my tank and got immediately on the freeway. I drove from Oakland to San Francisco, and looked at the MPG meter and could not believe my eyes: After 25 miles of driving I was getting 31 MPG. It was incredible. I am not sure if my driving style has changed, but something does not look right.

The best way to confirm gas mileage ...

... (or lack thereof) is with the wallet

mileage doubles after dvd install

My mileage doubled to 39 mpg 1 day after I installed the new Acura Alpine DVD for the Navi. Has anyone else found this?

 

[supplier]

29.7mpg! Nah!!.. hoax

if you drive and start breaking instant mileage goes to 40 (and above) mpg. If at this moment press and hold reset button range goes to --- and average becomes 40mpg. Just start short and make a picture... (at least how to do this on not navi X)

 

[crmsnidol]

I average 17-18 MPG at 30MPH almost consistently and need to fill up at around 300-320 mi. I've tried different gas, octanes and driving habits but it doesn't appear to make much difference for me. Most of my daily drive is stop-and-go highway.

Adding front side-marker lights did it for me. But I can use aerodynamics to explain that.
