DTE

Just a quick question,when you fill up your car at the gas station and check the on board cpu before pulling off what should the (DTE) be on your display?

Considering I get ~320 a tank in the city and ~500 on the highway, the dte is useless.

Mine usually says 325 no matter what my previous average MPG was. Maybe its a default number to start with??

what was negative? DTE is inaccurate everyone know it. i'm sorry i gave bogus numbers i thought everyone was...the real question to ask is what MPG are people seeing. then you can extrapolate the average miles per tank...DTE FTL
