Oh, no! Not you too! The 63 mile bug is still alive! I hate it - not because I really care about having it work, I just hate having something on my new car that doesn't work!
Anyway, congratulations and enjoy the car. Please post your mileage in the database!

Congratulations on your new car. Having just waited for mine to come in, I know how you must feel.
I will say that I have NOT noticed the 63 mile bug on mine (#105XX). I am doing about 110 miles/day on mostly the highway so maybe it is not noticable to me.
Either way, enjoy your car. I really am amazed at how much I like this car.

The clue is that if at exactly 63 miles it changes, even though you are at a steady speed, where it usually doesn't change. I don't have the issue with mine (#001055).

Sort of surprised that you have the "63 mile" issue. Maybe you really don't, as your mileage average will change all the time, depending on how you are driving. Not unusual for me to see anything from the high 30's to the low 60's, but usually sits around 50 mpg average most of the time. At the tank its always close to 48 mpg.

At 63 miles he was showing 34.3 MPG. That means he had used 63/34.3=1.837 gallons of gas.
At 64 miles he was showing 36.6 MPG. So after one more mile he had used 64/36.6=1.749 gallons.
Ever seen a gas tank fill up as you drive?
