2013 MPG?

My 13 consistently gets 13-15mpg in the city. On a long highway trip I’ll get 18-19. Just recently installed the Range Technology Extender to remove the VFG mode. Havent seen a increase in mpg but defiantly a more stronger responsive engine. Worth the $200 IMO.
 
Last tank was mixed driving... I'll call it 60% city 40% at 50-60mph I got 14.7mpg Truck defiantly likes to stretch it's legs....
I mostly drive back and forth to work....14 miles round trip stop and go not over 40mph it gets 13.6mpg like this.. I've changed the morning commute to a road that stays at 40ish for longer periods So I'll see if this helps keep it in the 14 + mpg...will know in a week.
Mine also get in the 19+ at longer Freeway trips....
I got basically the same mileage in my 2006 Honda Ridgeline RTL AWD.....
 
When we do Northern Va to Western CT, I can do it on one tank of fuel, and get almost 19mpg. Driving to the grocery store and back, the only reason I leave the house the past year, I get 11.

Hubs has a diesel Equinox that we drive to FLA and get over 40 with people and stuff. Our iesel Cruze we had before it we did here to Nashville, 10 hours, one tank of gas. Dog's way more comfortable in the truck.
 
I went to Nationals in Charlotte NC from home back in July, and traveling 77 all the way down I averaged 19.4mpg.

After driving around in a 60/40 mix city highway for 3 days, I was down to 16.9mpg.

Then on my way back home I got back up to 17.6mpg for the whole trip.

That being said, since then the AV has had a mix of roughly 75/25 city/highway and mostly running back and forth from my house to town (2 miles) and back. I am now down to 15.1mpg

I do have a RANGE module that disables the AFM though, so it does cost me a little bit of mileage.

I would say if I reset my fuel milage and did my normal driving for a week, it would range between 13-15 give or take.

I will have to reset it and check it sometime.
how does one reset the gas mileage?
