This is a post regarding tmrpro's other questions in Mods & Maintenence.

Please let me ask one question: You mentioned that your average FCD always stays at 35.
Have you reset it?
Personally I reset trip meters "A" each time I begin a new drive and this becomes my game gauge. I use trip meters "B" as a tank average and reset only after filling.

If it has not ever been reset and your car has several hundred miles on it then the FCD will move like a slug stuck in frozen molasses and not hardly ever change!

One suggestion with your FCD is not to go right away for the stellar numbers,
I can hear your frustration.

As far as targeting a figure on the instant FCD, I'd go with 60 at first.
See how high you can rase each individual trips average by trying to keep the FCD on or near 60. You'll certainly raise the FCD higher going down hills, etc but try to settle back to 60.

When you and your new car get used to that then raise it to 80, get used to that then 70 etc.

I Hope to finish the driving tips soon.
Steve
