WTF? so apparently nissan doesn't think i can do math? if i truly was averaging 35.7 mpg, my full 20 gallon tank shouldn't run out until i hit ~714 miles (and my low fuel shouldn't light up until ~660 miles). so yeah, can anyone help explain this? have you had similar results? what reasons are there for me averaging only 28-30 mpg HIGHWAY other than an actual problem with the car?

sorry for the lengthy commentary...

HELP!?

THANKS!

Take a look at page 2-18 of the manual. I just did - there's definitely nothing there about being "optionally installed."

If you're talking about the power flow datagraph on the technology package, that has nothing to do with the functions of the computer.
