I'm speaking of actual mpg over time in all kinds of terrain, that is and my readout over a 10yr period, is 6.2. I'm not all that long as the third owner and most sure I could've done better all by myself, but still, there's only so much one can do with driving a motel suite. Not that the fuel cost is a consideration with the overall cost of ownership, anyway.
I don't think it is really so hard to figure out....you drive, record the miles, and record the fuel you use. I don't see a computer being any more accurate than that, there are no variables.
I agree that none of us really buy these beasts based upon fuel efficiency anyway. Heck a 10% increase based on my estimated miles of maybe 6K/yr should only save me around $150-200 clams for the year...monitoring the mileage is more for the entertainment value
