On your next fill-up, reset your MPG counter. Info on how to reset that counter is in your manual.

how are you...

calculating the fuel consumption?

The easiest and most accurate way up till now is when you fill her up again, and i mean fill her up till she's almost overflowing, reset your trip meter (either A or B will do fine), then the next time you fill her up again, divide the number of miles driven indicated by the trip meter you used by the number of gallons it takes to fill her up again....assuming you did fill her up to the brim... that should give you the closest approximation to figuring out your fuel economy because the max's built-in fuel economy calculator is totally inaccurate....
