Lifetime Miles Per Gallon (LMPG)

Re: Lifetime Miles Per Gallon (LMPG)
Wow, great idea. Thanks!
Also, as long as the super cold temperatures keep away from South Carolina, you'd better watch out pretty soon for a new 05 HCH on the hypermiler rolls.

A Thought
Even if the FCD is off, my guess is it would be more consistent than manually checking the milage. I just don't have a lot of faith that the gas pump cut off is going to be consistent.

In any case, we know the FCD can be inaccurate to a larger degree, and topping off is a really bad habit, especially because it releases alot of pollution. So pump to click-off and be done with it.

Hi Civic Duty:
___You will be there soon enough
___Delta_Flyer, after multiple tanks, the first click shutoff will not matter as your actual miles traveled over gallons pumped will give you the actual. I found the Insight’s lmpg to be practically dead on with the hand calc’s although a vapor recovery fill threw out the individual tank(s) when that happened
___Good Luck
