What was it when you put your foot back on the gas? ;-) I'll try it and pay closer attention. I think it indicated about 9 mpg when I started accelerating from a dead stop in first gear. There's so many "devices" that I haven't gotten used to on this truck, I'm pretty busy just keeping it on the road. The "nav" feature is pretty good, but I have yet to figure out how to get it to shut up. I know what you mean. I hate the nav, particularly when I know where I am. It is just another distraction. I did use it in Michigan but I cranked the volume way down. It mutes the sound system so I knew when it was trying to tell me something. I pretty much knew where I was going so it was really just prompting me to the next turn. The MPG thing is fun to play with for a while. I had it in my old 86 Chrysler LeBaron. After a while I just selected another display. It was fun on the skyway bridge, getting it to peg at 99 MPG coasting down the back side. You just have to be careful and not be "playing with your DIC" (Driver Information Center) and run into the back of a truck. I think they are every bit as distracting as talking on the phone. |
