I went for a longer ride this morning.
The MPG gauge seems to be a lot more sensitive than before, when I accelerate it goes all the way to 0 before it stayed around 10, when I let off it goes all the way to max before it stayed around 40.
also when I brake to a full stop it first goes down let's say from 40 to about 20 then it goes up to max.
When the car is off it sits at max, when I start the car it stays at max, when I put in drive it stays in max, when I start to move it stays in max for a little while then it goes way down and the it works but very touchy.
I zeroed the MPG average and what it reads seems to be OK after driving around 10 or so miles of mixed driving with some acceleration and some stoping it averaged 23.4 MPG
Hope this gives more clues.
