Reaching out to 5.5 Gen Owners for easy survey/experiement

So, for all you 5.5 Gen owners, i have a small survey/experimental adventure if ya'all down for it. Its as follows:

1. You sit down behind the wheel of your sexy maxima
2. You turn the car ON.
3. You immediately RESET the gauge cluster with actively showing the MPG display.

In simple words, RESET the MPG display on the dash, as soon as you turn the car on. itll take sometime to show display

4. Report your findings on this thread please. Please include whether you took off after starting your car or you waited for he initial display to come up.

The only other things that could be added in this thread is, where do you think the Display reading of MPG on dash , and where do you think the Display reading of DTE (distance to empty) reading on dash comes from ?

Thanks

The reading comes from the ECU (STFT's & LTFT's & throttle angles & MAF readings)
