Do you guys pay attention to the average speed in the MID?

I've been noticing lately that my average speed is ALWAYS 26 mph...even when I start my car and immediately get on the highway and consistently drive 85mph for a long distance.

Does anyone else have this same average speed?

Professor

Don't think so, but I'll look.

Average speed comes from the total trip A or B.

If you reset your trip every fill up like I do you will see the numbers vary.

T-jay

my average speed is always 12mph. I gotta show off my rims,lol.

You have to reset the av speed manually. It does not reset when you fill up.

lol my avg is 14.1 lol

Professor

Mine is 47mph.

FatNoah

Interesting...mine has not deviated from 26 mph since I bought the car in February.

I vow to use the law of averages to bring my Avg Spd up to 86.

resetting the trip will reset average speed...I do this once a week...

My average speed is also in the low teens most of the time as I drive around New York even including highway driving.

This translates into uber crappy fuel economy as 300hp is just chilling and I ain't getting anywhere...

35 mph avg here.

Getting an average 23.0 MPG too. Yea!

MaxAlexand

35 avg. I've seen fluxuations as high as +/- 1 mph.

I've got trip A set to automatically reset with every fillup.

Exactly my situation when I had my RL.

Trip A will reset automatically at fill-up (if you have it set to do so) but Avg Speed A will not. Like others mentioned, you have to do it manually by cycling through the MID until you reach it then holding down the center reset button for a few seconds.

My commute is a little over 30 miles each way - about 2/3 on the highway with no traffic and 1/3 back roads. My average speed is around 47 mph. Since the switchover to summer gasoline I'm seeing around 24 mpg - I was getting around 21 mpg during the winter.

neuronbob

Man, I'd kill for even 21 mpg now. Try 14. And the last tank, with a new exhaust...ummm....11 mpg. Here's hoping the Sierra Club doesn't start coming after me! I knew what I was getting into, though....

037

I'm getting 12mpg with 200+hp less. You're l lucky you're not in NY or you'd be hitting single lows.

Everytime I see a CTS, I'm thinking of you racing around in your V. Unfortunately (of fortunately), my wife does not like the CTS, so whatever thoughts I have of getting one, get vetoed.
