Default 22 MPG @ 70 Best yet in my 04 TT

Much better than expected on my first 400 Mi road trip. Any others with similar or better MPG?

Last time I checked the nav screen I had averaged 14+ since the truck was new in June. Have seen 17 on the highway a couple times just cruising along about 70... (Cayenne S, with air and nav and factory 19's)

Only 2,100 mi ...Just barely broken in and the road to the Beach is thick with Radar. Does it get worse when you average 90?

Don't tell me you believe the readout for mpg. Mine hasn't been accurate since I've owned it (1 yr).

Check your gas receipts & do the arithmetic; you may be as cynical as me.....

Might be my city driving (90% with stop & starts), that the onboard computer can't keep up with. I gave up on lag issue, maybe adaptive driving keeps it there (?)

Reset-if you are looking at the speedometer MPG press the underneath button on the stalk until it clears. If you are talking PCM mileage, there is a reset option at the bottom of that page that you can scroll to and press "enter", whick would reset the "continuous" or "daily" record.
