Been getting 50 to 60 plus mpg I average 56.9 this tank. I would of gotten over 500 for this tank but I filled a bit early but clearly had it. Who else has been getting over 500 miles per tank?

Exactly the reason why I will never make the 500 club :sad:Your route is the number one problem I find when getting gas mileage. Some of you have watched my videos and I have a route to work that involves a back road with rolling hills and then about a 24 mile stint on the expressway. If you've seen my videos then you've seen my back road part of the drive in the VERY mediocre droning video I made and in the touring I average 55.6mpg on that part. Once I hit the expressway to work (which seems to be in a downhill slope overall) my average drops to 51.5mpg. when I drive the expressway home I'm down to about 47.8mpg until I hit the back roads then I pop back up to about an average of about 51mpg. Unfortunately this is the best route I can find so I'm averaging about 49 to 51mpg in a touring at about 60 to 70 degrees outside. Sorry for the long rant, but just wanted to point out how a route alone can really downgrade your mpg. Speed kills 😉

That's pretty much what my 50-mile daily commute consists of.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-KzajZFWwE
I would love to drive on that scenic back-road with no traffic lights as my daily commute. :surprise::grin:

I also have similar 'scenic' rolling hill daily drive on backroads with posted speed limit of 40 mph, but with a few added/unwanted factors hurting mpg:That's pretty much what my 50-mile daily commute consists of.![]()
The car provides a few options for tracking via "trip" meters. There are two trip meters (A, B) that can be reset in different ways (when refueled, when ignition turns off, or manually). The default for both trip meters is the manual setting.Super basic question here. Sorry. How do I set a trip odometer with a new tank of gas? And how do I monitor and effect the fuel economy I'm getting?
I use trip b for lifetime (until she accidentally resets it someday), and trip a for refills.The car provides a few options for tracking via "trip" meters. There are two trip meters (A, B) that can be reset in different ways (when refueled, when ignition turns off, or manually). The default for both trip meters is the manual setting.
To set the ' Trip A' meters for automatic reset when refueled, use the rolling dial on the left side of steering wheel to scroll to and select the following:
- Vehicle Settings --> Meter Setup (NOTE: push the scroll button to select the desired menu option after finding it via scrolling)
- Scroll to and select 'Trip A Reset Timing'
- Scroll to and select 'When Refueled'
- Scroll to and select 'Exit' until out of all menus
Check out the attachments below and this thread on "Trip Summary" for perspective on different ways forum members manage their Trip A and Trip B meters. Note that there isn't a "lifetime" mpg tracker on the car; miles traveled is the only lasting measure; other measures can get reset/lost (e.g. software update).
For fuel economy feedback, I suggest the "Range & Fuel" option on the Drivers Information Interface. It displays average fuel economy and instant fuel economy for Trip A or Trip B. You can toggle between Trip A and Trip B by using the "TRIP" button located to the left of the steering wheel, below the side air vent.
I use the Trip meters in the same way. I choose to manually reset Trip A though, because it's a physical reminder for me to note mileage in my drive log as well.I use trip b for lifetime (until she accidentally resets it someday), and trip a for refills.
