Yeah, I'm getting just about 20 MPG average. I've managed to stretch my gas out to around 210 miles outta the tank...
It freaks me out when I'm driving, because it will show about 4-5 bars...I'm in town thinking, ahhh, I can fill up at the Waipio Costco...
Then when I'm driving past Pearl City, and I start driving like a panty because I think I'm gonna run outta gas with no bars showing on my meter.
Here's the wierd part...the owners manual says 13.2 Gallons for our fuel tank capacity.
I filled up at Costco, and when I arrived, I had NO bars on the gas meter. The fuel pump showed that I put in just a little more than 10 gallons of gas. However, my bars were all gone...hmmm...is the gas meter missing 3 gallons of capacity? Is that our "reserve?"

umm...how do i reset my trip thingy?
Anyway, look on your instrument panel display, on the right hand side, underneath the fuel meter. There are two little black buttons. The on the right says "TRIP". Tap this button to toggle between your TRIP A and your TRIP B odometers. When you're looking at the TRIP odometer you want to reset, just hold down the TRIP buttton until the TRIP odometer reading resets. It takes about 1.5 seconds.
