- Hemi 5.7
Hi everyone, I just got my truck and I'm concerned about the mpg monitor's reliability.
I'm not too concerned if it's not accurate, but I'm hoping it's off by a reliable amount.
I reset it each trip. One trip I'll drive like an old granny-slow acceleration, stick to speed limit, coast to stop signs etc. and get best 12.9 mpg. But if I drive like a normal person with a Hemi, it says I get 11.5 mpg.
Are these fuel consumption gauges reliable enough to give me any useful data?
