Question on cluster display

[Racn4it1969]

Hi all, I just bought a 2019 Ram and on the tripometer on the dash cluster there's a display for MPG and another for MPH? I know I'm gonna sound stupid for asking, but what does the MPH stand for? Sorry to ask a dumb question but I'm still learning all the things this truck has.

MPH = miles per hour

MPG = miles per gallon

Well I know what mph means...but on the trip there’s a line that reads average mph. Someone told me it meant average miles per gallon highway. So I’m just trying too see what it really means

It gives you the average mph and mpg on your trip... you reset it before you go somewhere and then once your there you can see your averages for that trip.

So if you take a 200 mile trip, it will tell you that your average mph was 55 mph and you got 18 mpg on your trip.

Ah ok. Got it. Right now my mph reads 19.4 and the mph reads 28

Ah ok. Got it. Right now my mph reads 19.4 and the mph reads 28

It will reset every time you reset your trip odometer.
