    Default ICE fuel milage calibration

    We use the engine quite a bit, as our normal trips exceed EV range. Our ICE milage is normally indicated as mid to low 30's, best has been high 30's, by the car. I am wondering if this might be off slightly as when I fill up the most I have ever gotten in the tank was equal to what showed as used, but most of the fillups are .1 to .4 gallons less then shown as used. I am the only one to fill the car as my wife has no problem with the plug but won't touch the gas. Has anyone had the chance to check this calibration?

    It sounds like the calibration is spot on . The 0.1-0.4 is just the variance of how full you filled the tank . I got 43.3 mpg on my first time , 33.2 mpg on my second and 35.5 mpg on the third usage of the generator . The battery has given me a low of 37.5 and the highest so far of 43.3 miles .
