I was referring to avg. mpg. As displayed on the overhead console. The
overhead console displays readouts for direction/temperature; distance till
empty; real time mpg; in addition to displaying since last reset: engine run
time; tripometer; and avg. mpg. Its a nice toy - I actually bought it for
the sunglasses holder & garage door opener holder.

Computer computed your mileage? Is it onboard or did you get an
external one and install it yourself? Just curious cause I thought
about getting one of those guages that measured it for you.
Thanks,
Dan
