Miles are on your trip odometer, and gallons are on the gas pump.

First when I got my car, I used to get 16~17mpg. after any mods, mpg drops a bit cuz I tend to drive it harder but MPG keep increasing with the time I spend with my car.
now, I get 350miles+ between fill ups and I usually put 17~18Gals

I just got done on a 8 day 3200 mile roadtrip through the Rockies in an 04 roadster 6 speed. I hardly every touched the brakes driving through the mountains using gears for brakes. Top was down 30% of the time with the a/c on. I averaged 25.8 miles per gallon on the whole trip with the car loaded with weight as luggage. I was very impressed.

22 MPG mixed driving calculated the old fashioned way. Miles on trip meter divided by the gallons it took to fill back up. I wouldn't rely on the guage calcualtion as it changes all the time and is only accurate at that instance you look at it, running avg...

What it displays is the cumulative average since the last reset.
If you reset it at each fillup, like i do, the reading when you stop for the next fill will be the MPG for that tankfull.
And when I do the manual calculation, the number displayed is always within a few tenths of the number I calculate.
