I did a search to try and find answers before starting this thread, and hopefully this is the place to put it. But...
Alright, Monday will be one week since I bought my car. Now when I bought it, I took it home with 82-83 miles on it. I got in and reset both trip computers which had around 1.5-2 miles, which puts the odometer at 82-83. Now I am finally going to fill up soon and I looked at both my trips which read 244.8 and my odometer read 259. I thought that this couldn't possibly be right...wouldn't this compute to an 81-83 mile difference? Now, the trip mileage seems to be right on the money since there's possibly 70 miles remaining on the tank and I watched the mileage turn over whereas both the trip would hit the .8 mark and the odometer would turn over another mile. As I drove along I noticed that the mileage turned over a little sower or the trip turned over a little faster each mile that .8 mark went by.
Now my question is, how many miles has anybody gone on 3/4 of a tank, am I right on the money for 3/4 of a tank of gas?
Also, has anybody had this happen to them? And what was the remedy?
Thanks.
