Has anyone watched the MPG bar meter while they're driving?

When driving from 0-35 MPH the mpg looks like its lower than 10 mpg or lower..

Anyone else see that?

MPG is all about revs per mile. The fewer revs it takes to travel a given distance, the better the MPG. A modifier to that is throttle opening (load). So, unless the car is warm and you *****-foot at those low speeds, you will see crappy fuel mileage.

And, yes, I do see that. Every time I drive my car. That is the display I have set as a nag to use lighter pressure on the loud pedal. That is why I average 19-21 mpg even when most of my driving is in an urban setting.

Have you had any of the ECM and TSM updates done on your car? I hear it helps with those lower gears.

The engine brake is miserable right now for me. Can't even coast at all.
