jeff_h Report post Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) I noted in another post that I've seen my Trip1 elapsed miles (which I reset each fill-up) combine with my DTE to be over 700 miles on a couple occcasions... and as the tank burns through, it gets more toward reality and settles around 600 or so for the tank. Last fill-up was 601 miles, the one before that 591, the one before that 594. So today I took some pics of the Trip1 elapsed along with the DTE (about 100 miles in is when it seems to feel the most ambitious, for whatever reason) - and as has been discussed, the DTE is based on your recent MPG history. In the manual for my 2010 it said it was based on the past 500 miles, but I don't see a number stated in the 2013 manual. But from the below, I tend to think the DTE number is calculated based on the past X miles but is weighted heavily on the very recent MPG. My example is below. With odometer at 13,926 miles - Trip 1 had gone 121 miles, ...and has 593 miles left (total of 714 miles) which I think is a big number by any account. But then, after going down a long downhill with a lot of regen braking, with odometer at 13,930 miles - Trip 1 had gone 125 miles, ...and has 647 miles left (total of 772 miles) which is a LOT more, especially after just 4 miles later!
