I don't know about others, but I use the average MPG display as a guide re adjusting my habits. I still figure each tank, both in my 2007 and my 2014 in an old school manner...fill until I can barely see gas in the neck each time, and then take the miles on the tank divided by the number of gallons it takes to reach that (same) level each time.

doing the math is better than relying on the displays. Displays are always inaccurate for some reason.
