You've also got to rember the FEH has two fuel economy displays. For us poor folk like me(no nav system), the message center on the dash provides average economy. Thus far, the message center avg fuel economy has been reading .5-1.0 mpg lower than my calculations using the pump and distance method

Which inspire me b/c the display says 28.5 mpg this tank...so maybe I'll get close to 30mpg for the first time. FEH is still breaking in with 1100 miles thus far.
