19.1mpg with an HO engine and 3.27 open gears, according to the tripminder. This is in mixed city/highway driving, and driving normally. If I get on the loud pedal too much, MPG takes a sharp and quick dive for the floor.Comment

The system is pretty simple from my understanding so I think it just pulls info from the vehicle speed sensor and fuel flow wire.Originally posted by cld783 View Postsigpic

ECM fuel flow data and vehicle speed, so yes it does count idle time and any engine load from wind, hills, towing, etc. It ought to be very accurate, however some are just out in left field. Mine for example always says I'm doing about 1 mpg better than I actually am. Theres an adjustment screw on the side under the 'do not adjust' sticker. I'm curious what that does. Might have to get out the golden screwdriver sometime and fiddle.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
