Life's little pleasures

One, at least for me, is filling up the Expedition ELs and seeing the "distance to empty" indicator click to 603 miles.

As I described before, when heading out of my place in the Sacramento Mountains towards the Pecos valley, the whole thing is downhill over 90 miles (but of course lots of ups and downs in that 90 miles). Over this section of the trip the "trip MPG" gets pretty high. Here's a photo partway through.



35 MPG lol

I had a trip back from the North Hills Sand Dunes where I could get 80-100mpg in my truck towing a trailer full of ATVs, about 40miles of pretty steep down hill.

Still only averaged 10mpg by the time I got home

Yep, I can get the distance to empty to show ridiculously high numbers, in anything.

All it takes is having a full (or nearly full) tank, then reset the Lie-O-Meter at the beginning a of a reasonably long descent.
Heck, I think I've seen over 500 miles to empty after filling the TRX in town, then heading home.

On the Ford the range never is based off of reset MPG counters (which can be frustrating at times). So when I tank up I have to have averaged over the life of the car about 18.2 mpg for it to hit 600. And thar is hard to do wo lots of highway driving.

Hey, I have no idea how the Furds work...if they even do.

On our Audis the Lie-O-Meter seems to reset itself every night, or whatever the cause for it is. But, by pushing enough buttons they'll tell you what the overall average is.

What I'm most used to is the Ram setup, which doesn't record a lifetime average and instead shows the past 200 miles or so. Yeah, there's a reason I keep logs and therefore able to tell what the vehicles' mileage actually is.

I didn't buy my Ram, Hellcat and Jeep for the mileage! I don't think about it because they each serve their purpose!!

That said, it is cool to see the higher numbers

The M6 was a thirsty bugger at first.
