One of the screens I always display on my dashboard shows the miles per hour in digital form. It also so happens to display the amount of gas remaining in terms of miles. Whenever I’ve filled the tank, it always says 288 miles as the “Distance to Empty”. But this most recent fill-up, the number was different.
It was 301 miles this time. That was weird. Did I get more gas in the tank?
But then at the end of my drive yesterday, when I turned off the car, this info came up:
My car has been calculating my miles per gallon all this time. I must’ve been driving in a more fuel-efficient way lately. But how weird that previously it was so consistently 288 miles that I memorized the number. Interesting…
Of all the data on your screens, the one that caught my eye most was “57 degrees”. We’ve barely been above freezing here since the new year opened.
That is one smart car!
I don’t understand run-out-of gas calculating. I went to Costco on Sunday (for some of that sweet, sweet Costco gas) and other errands. The car said I had 25 miles left of gas, and Costco is 32 miles away. I put in a gallon of garbage gas to get there, and it calculated that I only drove 18 miles worth of gas. I don’t get it.
