1st full fill

Just did my first full fill up on my new (used) car. I picked up a SGII at about 2/3 tank and set it totally wrong.

I was horribly depressed at not even being able to hit 32mpg @50mph I tried all the driving tricks and it just wouldn't go any higher. Imagine my surprise when I did the math after filling up and saw 44.76mpg!

SGII is set correctly now

Just did the 2nd fill on my sgII today. I messed up my first fill so had to start over. I do like all the info it gives you. Having alot of fun with it. Now I can get accurate info. Mine was reading a bit high on the first tank.

Cool! Did you have to spend the weekend driving loops in order to empty your tank?

lol, no loops, but I have a 60 mile round trip to work. Lots of slow moving traffic so I think my average was 28mph, I coast a long way at slow speeds
