Ride today & milage with my tipronic
Drove 234 miles
Computer stated;
average speed 42 mph -- fuel economy 21.2 mpg
I found MPG in the past 2 fill ups to be dead on w/ the computer reading.
FYI
If you guys care

Much better than my mileage. I suspect it's because those of us with manuals
always want to hear our cars run through the revs instead of automatically shifting at a point that yields better mileage.
I plead guilty :}
I have started trying to make a point of getting into higher gears to lower the revs lately and maybe that will drag my mileage up a little. I am still hovering at around 17+ overall in city driving.

I noticed that my cumulative #2, (set at full tank, checked at fillup) isn't accurate.
I believe the the "average" mpg in each trip setting, 1 and 2, resets if your car has been off for more than 2 hours.
