OK Guys, time to help a girl out....tonight on the way home I was messing w/ the digi speedo guage, going thru the screens, and something is really troubling me. I noticed last week that she seemed to be guzzling gas pretty quickly. I just filled up Monday, have only 180 miles on the trip meter which I zero out w/ every fill up kind of a wierd obsessive compulsive thing I guess. Anyways....I only have like 1/3 of a tank left. Another few things, I was messing w/ it as I left circut city which is like 5 miles from home or less. It said 180 miles left to empty. When I got home 5 miles later it said 140 miles left to empty. The MPG reading is 0.7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wtf: is going on here? How can I be getting less than one mpg? I sit right around 20.0 all the time. Now this? I have to change my oil to winter weight but it hasn't gotten that cold yet, and I am driving highway miles averaging probably 70-75 for most of the 20 mile trip to work. I am not punching it at every take off and not driving like a complete maniac, so what's up? HELP!!!

Mine was telling me the other day that I was getting 1.2 mpg on the hwy and I got 420 miles out of a tank (pure interstate driving)

:dunno:

take it in to dealer to check - possibly faulty fuel gauge/ electronics/ both?

or worse - if you have a gas line leak, you'll want to get that checked out right away.

Probably just something wrong with the electronic part of it. Is it still doing it Jinx or just that once?

I don't know if jinxxy ever figured this one out, but it just happened to me too. I held in the bottom button while staring at the MPG screen and after about 15 seconds or so I could see things reset. Works fine now

I just figured out how to reset it like a few weeks ago...while I was still driving her...have no idea why it was freaking out like that, so I reset it and it's all good.....well, for now!
