Nope. I reset it at every fill-up.I'm guessing here that you don't reset the overall mileage on your car when you refuel and that 27.4 is the running average.

You'll have to ask her if she has the 5gal. or the 8gal tank.I keep the data as it lets me see what effect small changes have on mileage... Number 1 or 2 diesel? No change in mileage... Change of tire brand? No change in mileage. 50,000 miles on the ODO? No change in mileage. You'd think there's no point but doing this has identified issues in the past that didn't show up as codes. As others have said, it's the definitive way to know if tire selection, fuel selection, or even dragging brakes is affecting your mileage. I asked a coworker what kind of mileage her Mini got and she said something like 250 miles a tank. I asked how many miles per gallon that was and she gave me a blank stare like "Why does that matter?". I said "I get 450 miles a tank. I guess my F-350 is more economical than your Mini." "No it isn't. My Mini gets a lot better mileage than that big truck." So, I said, in perfect playground language "How would you know?"
LOL... She went and got an Electric Fiat. So, it doesn't matter any longer.You'll have to ask her if she has the 5gal. or the 8gal tank.

I have a question .....
Why do you do this?
I think you have excluded, and didn't account for-
atmospheric pressure
humidity
jet stream
elevation change
slipstreaming/drafting
roadway composition
the load(s) (aside from yourself)
window positions
HVAC hours
number of miles in reverse
( go easy... me smiling)
