During calibration I held off resetting the average MPG, for a a few fills so I could calibrate based off of several fills. Day to day usage I reset the average as the DTE is based on that. If I have a really good tank, then the next tank do a lot of trailer pulling my tank average will be much lower than the indicated average and therefor the DTE.

If I am going on a long trip I will use the trip average.
