Default 52.1 MPG (display) first tank!

I love this car! 52.1 MPG displayed for first tank with a calculated of 50.49 MPG. I put the displayed value in the database.

Right. Interesting the discrepancy between the display and the calculated. I use the calculated, and find that usually, but not always it is less than the display.

Good thing we're not flying.

Well done. I had to face the same problem when I started and decided to us the display for 'testing' and the calculated for the database. The other day, I noticed some dust on the display and while wiping it down reset the display during a test. Regardless, GOOD LUCK whatever way you choose.

Thanks for the replies. I have decided to go with the calculated value instead. How do you get the MPG banner to appear on each of your posts?

Hi,

It used to be there was a URL at the bottom of the mileage log that looked something like this:

http:\\ www.greenhybrid.com \compare \mileage \car \1506 \signature.pn

Go to your mileage log and find the vehicle number in the URL at the top. Then paste it into the model URL I copied from my signature and fix the " \" to "/". If you post it and your mileage message shows up, you're halfway there. Paste the image URL in your signature block using the picture postcard tool and you're there.

Thanks for the info, but when I paste the URL it just shows the url, not the picture
