New Owner - Mileage Concern

[brandon1239]

cruise control also kills mileage, the system will do whatever it takes to keep the same speed, it'll floor the gas if it has to in order to keep the speed.

Eh, I would disagree to a point. I won't say cruise control kills mileage, but it's not as effective as a competent hyper miler.

ive ridden with alot of ppl where cruise control does wonders for gas mileage, you know the on the gas off the gas on the gas type people.

I just disable mine on hills to avoid its lose no speed programming, seems to work pretty good.

The timer seems to function as designed in my 2013.

With the timer showing on the display, I hit the button on the end of the stick to change the colon from solid to blinking and the timer started counting. Press it again to stop it and press and hold to reset.

Once you're vehicle has reached about 5,000 miles which is the vehicle break in period you should start to see an increase in MPG. You can check out fueleconomy.gov for tips and advice on increasing fuel economy.

Hey Sean, thanks for checking that! So it looks like the timer feature has a bug in 2012 models. In 2012 models the timer cannot be stopped, but it can be reset. It works fine in 2 out of 2 - 2013 models.

Using my foot to try and hold a steady 45 MPH my UG showed 42.8 MPG instant. When using cruise control at 45 MPH, UG showed 48.7 MPG instant. <-- In 6th Gear

I'm pretty good at keeping the speed constant too, but on hills I just press cancel (use my foot to keep from getting rear ended) then at the bottom of the hill I press up (resume).
