Does the MPG indicator actually enable anything? You can do all the things you describe without it. It's hard for me to believe that there's anyone independently discovering from their car's MPG indicator that minimizing throttle/brake usage improves mileage.
- chadgeidel 10y agoMPG indicator gives real-time feedback about what I'm doing. I could do everything without it (and did in the past) but "calculating efficiency by doing math at fill time" isn't granular enough. I don't think I could get that extra 2 or 3 MPG.
- dpark 10y agoshrug None of the things you mention require constant feedback to understand. Heavy throttle followed by braking is just turning gasoline into brake wear. You know that already.
