Na, the scanguage is funny like that, I am consrtantly adjusting mine after each fill up. So use is as a general guide.

Now as much as this reality check hurts, you will not see appreciable gains in FE until to slow down below 65mph. 55mph being ideal.

Otherwise be happy with what your car gives you, because if you are not willing to change your driving you will not see the benefits from it.

Yeah its harsh but true, and no you will not be shot for driving slower on the highway, I traverse 120 miles a day on 1-95 in Florida during congested traffic hours and have yet to get honked at or high beamed in the 7 months that I have slowed down to 55mph in the 65-70mph posted speed limit zones I drive. It's in your head ... LOL
