    My indicated display (Trip-A) is always stuck in the 50's about 90 percent of the time. (The glitch is an exception.)
    Trip-A is the only one I look at. It always stays at 56 or 57 mpg. How do you guys get 72??? :eek: :LOL: I zero it out after every fill-up, and soon after it jumps right back up to 57. That must be the "average" or something?

    So I'm actually getting 53 or 54 mpg when I do the numbers on my iPhone calculator. That is still very good as far as I'm concerned. No complaints there. That's right in line with Toyota Prius specs. But how do some of you get 70 or above?

    *illogical*

    Well, given the resulting comments (me included), it should be fairly obvious THAT is not a good way to fashion a reply.......unless you somehow highlight your answers. (y)

    yeah, last time I use my ICE was when we went on a road trip and actually;)had our ac blasting because I thought it my dog would go crazy!
    And on long road trips, the engine is quiet because it does not need to work hard to accelerate.

    Not your fault at all.
    It is not "normal" to put your reply into the middle of the quoted text.

    Me & RCO are just kidding Kevin. At least I am. :LOL: Three 800 mile tanks in a row? Thats SUPERMAN! I am squirming after just 30 minutes in the car. LET ME OUT! It took me 2 weeks to drive that 700 miles... or whatever it was. :ROFLMAO:

    I think you are ready to move up to a Tesla. ;)

    I am no ECO dude.     This morning I let air out of my tires so the car wouldn't be so bumpy. In this heat the tires felt like rocks. I'm back down to just 3 pounds over specs.

    I don't think so. But every one of us is "abnormal" in some way. ;);)

    That seems perfectly normal in itself, however, these days to be normal might be considered abnormal by some!

    If the shoe fits.

    Do YOU think it is in any way "normal" or the least bit desirable to enter a reply inside of quoted text like that ??

    Most seemed to find the data just fine. Sorry that I inconvenienced you. I just tried to answer the questions that had been asked of me. Let me know how you would do it next time and I will try to use your method if that is what you think is best...

    SIGH.
    You have been on here for 10 years.....and have posted hundreds of messages.
    Is it REALLY necessary to explain to you what the reply convention IS ??? REALLY ??

    Either put your comments below the (trimmed) quote (like this)
    That is how 99.9% of the users do it.
    OR
    If you insist on putting comments inside the previous quote, make the text obviously different with size and/or color.

    It really isn't that hard. Really.
