Is the MPG reading based on the same output that would be displayed on the over-head information center if my truck had one? Or is it calculated by the Engine size and other perameters I might manually enter?
My values seem a bit high for my vehicle.
Hi!
Not every manufacturer calculates MPG the same way. Torque bases it's MPG calculation from various engine sensors. MPG isn't a 'standard' sensors that can be read - it's calculated from a couple.
Make sure your vehicle profile has the correct engine displacement, as this is used as part of the MPG calculation - there is also an adjuster in the vehicle profile where you can manually 'tune' the calculation. You may need this if you have something like an old MAF sensor that is under/over-reading slightly.
