Has anyone watched the MPG bar meter while they're driving?

When driving from 0-35 MPH the mpg looks like its lower than 10 mpg or lower..

Anyone else see that?

 

What do you expect?

 

Just dont drive at 88 mph you might not like where you end up

 

MPG is all about revs per mile. The fewer revs it takes to travel a given distance, the better the MPG. A modifier to that is throttle opening (load). So, unless the car is warm and you *****-foot at those low speeds, you will see crappy fuel mileage.

And, yes, I do see that. Every time I drive my car. That is the display I have set as a nag to use lighter pressure on the loud pedal. That is why I average 19-21 mpg even when most of my driving is in an urban setting.

 

Have you had any of the ECM and TSM updates done on your car? I hear it helps with those lower gears.

The engine brake is miserable right now for me. Can't even coast at all.

 

Is this your first car?
