Fuel Economy Page

[usmcfiredog]

Hello all. I have a new 23 AT4X and I noticed the other day that on my fuel economy page where you can see your average/best economy for 25, 50, and 450 miles that my average resets every time that I drive the vehicle. The best average in green doesn't change, but the other average that the best uses to make the best average changes. It is always the same as the drive summary page. I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this. I hope I was able to clearly explain what I am seeing.

I think you are looking on the "current trip" page. You have the "fuel economy" page that has the option for 25, 50 and 450 miles. Then you have "trip 1" and "trip 2", which are different from the "current trip" page. So you have 4 pages to look at (if you have them all set to show on your DIC). Current trip. Fuel economy (with 25, 50 and 450 mile options). Trip 1. And finally Trip 2.

I have grown to like the current trip page, but I always keep my default page the fuel economy page (the one with the option for 25, 50 and 450 miles).

I use trip 1 for the lifetime of the vehicle. Never reset that one. as I like to see what the lifetime mileage of the vehicle is while I own it. I use trip 2 page for my current tank of gas, I reset that page each time I fill up. That way I can figure the MPG myself. Since I always go with somewhat bigger wheels and tires, making the actual mileage driven off by 3 to 6% or so (depending on the size of tire I have on), I then figure how many miles I actually drove by multiplying what the trip 2 page says for miles by 1.04% (just using 1.04% as an example) or whatever the difference in revolutions per mile actually is between the stock tires and the new, bigger tires I put on.

In fact, I have my truck at the local shop right now, they are putting on 285/70R18 tires on 18x9 Fuel wheels tomorrow (along with the RC 1.5" front level and RC UCA's). So with these new tires, which will be 2" taller than what is on it stock, I will multiply by 1.06 to get my true miles driven. These new tires are 6% taller than the stock 32" Duratracs that came on the truck.

Teegunn thanks for the response. So basically my question is for your default page do you see the number on the right side basically reset every time you start and drive the truck? That is what mine does right now. I am wanting to see if anyone else is noticing this. I like keeping my default page my current trip because I like to see the time I travel to a place and my economy for the trip. I reset trip one every fill up and keep trip 2 as my lifetime.

No problem!

My fuel economy page does not reset. I currently have it set to calculate at 25 miles. But it doesn't reset unless I manually reset it in the options.

If yours is resetting, sounds like something odd going on. Unless there is a setting for that I haven't seen in the options (and I looked deeply at the options for the DIC pages when I got the truck). Since I had a 2020 AT4 with the technology package (better DIC screen than a non-technology packaged AT4), I was already very familiar with the misc options available to display. This 2023 AT4X does have a few more bells and whistles to the DIC page, but not many more really.

Yeah I know you can reset your "best" average (green color) on the left but the one on the right (white color) basically resets every time I drive the truck. I get it and says what it said when I shutoff the truck but as I start driving it drops and then comes back up. Its really weird and it does this for the 25 mile option, 50 mile option and the 450 mile option.

That is really odd. I haven't heard of that happening for anyone else. I know both my 2020 AT4 and this 2023 AT4X don't reset the right side at all. On my 2020 AT4 I believe if I manually reset the calculations, it reset both the right and left side though.

well I did reset each distance so I will drive 500 miles to see if it levels out. But I start the truck and the right side starts at like 15 mpg and then I start driving and drops to like 6 mpg and then slowly starts climbing up. when it drops it then aligns perfectly to the trip summary page, because both of them climb and drop together.

Yeah, mine doesn't do that. Sounds like a glitch or bug in your system. Odd.

Hope it levels out for you and stops doing that!

Me too might need to take back to dealer to see or to reflash or something. I was going to try to reset everything and see also.

If resetting doesn't work, your idea of getting it reflashed at the dealer is probably the best option.

My 2023 ultimate 6.2L does the same thing firedog is describing. I also noticed that if I start the truck and back out of my garage and just let it idle the mpg goes goes down to almost zero. My 2019 Denali 6.2L did not act this way.

At least I am not crazy. The truck was built in Nov and I picked it up in Dec.

The resets of everything did not work. But I did notice today that the avg for 25 miles was different from the 50 mile page. BUT all of my "best" averages are still at like 16.5. So I guess I can't reset the best averages. I don't know I have to go to the dealer tomorrow so I will talk to service to see if they are willing to reflash my cluster.

That's exactly how I'm using mine.

The one on the right is a running tally for mpg. It should always start where it was when you last turned off the truck. It will then adjust up or down according to how you're driving. If you drive a long enough distance (a few miles), it will eventually become equal to your "current trip" measurement - they'll be the same.

Does that make sense?

That is exactly what I am saying. It is not supposed to do that though. Depending on the setting you have set for the fuel economy page (25, 50, 450 miles) is not supposed to change like that every time you start and drive the truck. If you have the fuel economy page set to 50 miles and then choose to have one of the sides of your dash to display the fuel economy it is supposed to show you the mpg for the last 50 miles and not reset with each drive of the vehicle.
