Friends: 6 |  I've found this topic particularly helpful. Like a lot of people I'm very new to the car and I've NEVER been interested in cars until this one. So basically I don't know jack. I just filled up for the first time. The trip ODOA was unfortunately the same as the ODO and I know that the car had 17 mi on it before I started driving it. So when I put 9.024 gallons in (I was expected about that based on the MFD) I had to trust the MFD's mileage to compute the MPG. I computed 48.76 MPG and the MFD was saying 51.4 MPG. I was on the last tick of the gauge. It's definitely a little quirky, then again my Civic fuel gauge was really nonlinear. First tank, tires at dealership pressure I'm pretty psyched!
