    Wow, that's more-or-less 15% error, dash vs calculated.

    Yeah, I gassed up at other than my usual place. Cutoff may be different?

    I just calculated my mileage on my first tank of gas and I only managed 44 MPG. I know that's a lot more than my previous vehicle but after reading how a lot of people are getting 50+ MPG on average 44 MPG is disappointing. I hope my mileage improves as the vehicle breaks in.

    Looking at my spreadsheet, our first few tanks, back in winter 2010/2011, mpg went like this:

    45.3
    44.4
    40.9
    43.6
    42.8
    43.4
    46.5


    Most recent:

    52.7
    54.2
    50.7
    49.2
    48.6
    49.4
    47.5


    There's a lot of factors at play: trip length, tires (& pressures), temperatures/weather. Most important: savvy. Keeping the speed down, driving more conservatively, consolidating trips, avoiding short impulse drives.

    The first set of numbers are around Jan thru Mar. Tough part of the year. The latest are maybe Aug through to early Dec. So seasons a factor too. You can see the latest are dropping, current tank looks to be slightly lower again.
