Well, mine reads in the 60 MPG ( US gallons ) range when cruising at steady state 65mph, but dips down to like 20 MPG when I ride it like I bought it to ride. Average is somewhere in the 40's, exactly what I would expect. I think it functions a tad optimistically, but pretty well all in all.

BTW, I have discovered with my van ( Ford E-350 Xtended loaded to the limit ) that by slowing my average speed from 85mph to 72mph on the highway I can pick up 3-4MPG. 10 MPG to 14 is a HUGE difference. I suspect if one were to drone along on the highway at a steady 65mph, never having a moments fun, that 50MPG might be realistic.
