    Every time I send in my "full fuel tanks" message. I get that automated response message telling me my MPG's, but it always says Im getting I ridiculously low mileage that has to be wrong, usually it says I got like 2 or 3 miles per gallon. Once it said I got 15 MPG.
    Does anyone else have problems with this? I know I probably get decent MPG's, but I don't want Roehl thinking I'm a terrible driver.

    I'm a flatbedder, I have a standard qualcomm, frieghtliner columbia. But even still 2 to 3 miles per gallon just can't be right. I would have to be requesting new fueling instructions all the time, lol.
    Im going to calculate my own MPG, maybe I put the wrong mileage in at the pump once or twice and it sent it out of wack.

    What he means is quit relying on the Quallcom and use your mind computer, and Im not trying to be a smart arse.

    You don't say what your hauling ? What your rear ratio is , where you drive? All factors in the realm of things. Don't use Qualcomm to calculate they can be wrong or use prior persons log in if you are a slip. Seat. Get a hub readout to start then your end mileage then calculate is going to be your best bet. Goog luck kiddo.
