I usually get between 24.3 - 25.2 average mpg combined driving. Today I noticed something weird. Pulling away from a light or just accelerating on a flat road, the average mpg would drop to 5-10 on the linear gauge. It never did that....
Along with the average mileage which usually hovers around 24.5.. this concerns me a bit. Unless in electric mode, my average mpg has now dropped to between 22-23.8..... even lower when accelerating...
Nothing has really changed in my driving habits nor gas.
PS: It's acting like the gauge is in instant mpg instead of average mpg. Had that in my '19 Ranger. I looked hi and lo, there is no setting for that. Told the mechanic and he said he changed it to average mode. It always said average mode above the linear gauge, do so much them not bsing me.
I don't show any OTAs but then again, it never shows that there was one.
Even topped off the tank and ran it a bit on the highway. Any thoughts?
