Does anyone know how accurate the info on the upper VIC is? For instance is the MPG/AVE MPG indication accurate? How about DTE or temp?

Thanks

I can tell you firsthand that my '97 ZJ's DTE isn't accurate. While driving around the property, I was below Empty (trying to get rid of old gas) and the DTE showed "0 MILES TO EMPTY" for over 10 miles. It never ran out and I filled it up with new gas.

With mine I get about 30 miles after it first reads 0.

The DTE is pretty accurate until it gets to about 30 miles left. Once it gets to 0 miles there still should be about a gallon reserve left. Most vehicles have this feature.

Good advice. That makes sense then.
