sometimes if I am not in a hurry (which does happen from time to time) I will shift around 3k or so while entering the highway

I would suspect most of the reason is you are 85% city driving, when you are stopped you are getting 0 miles a gallon, when the car is not moving you are getting 0 miles per hour. When you go to slow down if you simply down shift instead of going into neutral that can effect it too.



didn't even know that was a feature lol how do u turn it on?

I go to Neutral when I know I will come to a stop. I don't downshift unless I brake and I lost a lot of speed.


I don't understand the inept car. You mean I get 0 MPG rating when the car is not moving? Just running?
