I've checked my computer MPG readings against manual calculation of MPG's, and mine is VERY close. I've never had it be off by more than .5 MPG (which could be a difference in top off).

The instant is all over the place depending on throttle position. It shows like 4-7 MPG at WOT. 99 MPG when foot is off the gas. About 28-38 when highway cruising. And when i'm doing 100+ MPH the instant mpg is usually bouncing around in the 17-23 MPG range...So I think mine is pretty darn accurate.

New Year - Key Questions


The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter.
Mark Twain

How to Tell That You have Entered a New Year:
?
  • You enter your password on the microwave.
  • You 4-got your password to the MCF ~>cause you partied 2 hard
  • You haven't played solitaire with a real deck of cards in years.
  • You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of four.
  • You call your son's beeper to let him know it's time to eat. He 'phones you back from his bedroom, 'What's for dinner?'
  • You chat several times a day with a stranger from Canada, but you haven't spoken with your next door neighbour all last year 4-Sure : )
  • Your daughter just bought a CD of all the records your college roommate used to play.
  • You check the ingredients on a can of chicken noodle soup to see if it contains Echinacea.
  • Your grandmother clogs up your e-mail inbox telling you to visit & clean her yard/house/car/etc.
  • You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home. "Hello" ?
  • Every commercial on television that has a website address at the bottom of the screen you go to
  • You buy a computer and a week later it is out of date and now sells for half the price you paid or send it to `Space : )
  • The concept of using real money instead of credit or debit to make a purchase is foreign to you. What ?
  • Your reason for not staying in touch with family is that they do not have e-mail addresses or you tell them your computer crashed & you lost their email address : )
  • Your idea of being organised is multi-coloured Post-it notes. (Out of Post it notes : )
  • You hear most of your jokes via e-mail instead of in person.
  • You're reading this Now LOL
  • the kid from `Space must leave 4 work
  • Wish EveryBody a SuperSuper Eve
  • EnJoy your Now
  • Now
  • R U still reading this LOL

Hello all! My 05s computer is almost dead on when I calculate the gas mileage. My 03 is way off. I don't know why though.
