Car computed fuel mileage a bit optimistic
So pretty much every new car has a readout that gives you the mileage. It seems that all of them seem to be a bit optimistic. After going through three tanks of gas on my 2012 Lexus CT200h, it appears to be about 5% optimistic. The first tank could have been a fluke. The second tank could have been pump variation. After three tanks though, it certainly appears the hand calculation (mileage divided by gas pumped) shows the computer is optimistic a bit.
