Default Driving Habits

My FWD FEH has led me to save gas in my V8 Explorer and other cars I drive. Using the reset on the average MPG readout on the dash or computer has been a real experiance that I think must be shared here.

I've had this system for years on other Ford cars and didn't figure it out till the other day. I thought the FEH Nav. Computer was the only way to check your MPG in a instant during a driving condition by pressing the reset button. I was driving on I-95 in my Exployer which has the average MPG also. I always thought the reset button was for oil change and mile to empty on the explorer. Its not! I tried drafting and was slowly watching my MPG average increase in that mode and pressed the reset. The average jump to what I was getting right then, 23-24 MPG with the A/C on at 70 miles per hour.

I have a new toy in my Exployer I didn't know I had!
