Yes - the vehicle does have a real time fuel usage on the dash, and it seems to be pretty accurate.

I think our efficiency problems are related to conflicting requirements the EPA issues on faulty assumptions about the effect of automotive emissions on the environment. Simple models are adopted and regulations issued without any testing, verification, or pilot proof-of-concept programs.
