Trip computer's MPG calculation
Hey Guys,
Could any of you shed some light on how the car calculates the MPG? I was in a rush to the dealership on Friday, so I only filled up the tank half-way. When I looked at the calculated mpg in the afternoon, it was at 11.6 and slowly rising (and I do mean slowly). I'm thinking everytime you refuel, the mpg calculator assumes it's a full tank. Thoughts?

I've only filled the tank completely but the tank average seems to be right on. I just did 380 miles on one tank in our GS430. The "Tank Average" said 26.0 mpg and when I filled it up it came to 26.09 mpg
