Fuel range
Hello everyone,
On a reason trip I average 27.3 mpg in my 2010 ZDX, however I was only able to get 372 miles. In my previous vehicle the same mpg I would had see a range of over 400 miles with a smaller fuel tank. How accurate is the driver information in the ZDX?

I didn’t think about that, so I took your advice. It took 15.51 gallons to refill the tank according to my receipt from yesterday, so that puts my mpg around 24. So why is there a difference between what the vehicle information said and my calculation?

just some thoughts....
- perhaps the computer rounds to the nearest gallon? or to the nearest point?
- perhaps an average or mean is needed on your calculations..(i would try three fuel ups, calculated by hand)
- perhaps the computer is taking in account of idling? (but then why would it give you greater fuel economy? maybe it averages the value somehow? )
