    no one in the office would believe you are getting 2-3 mpg anyway
    unless they are stupider then a turnip which might be possible
    personally i am grossing 76500 and have got 7.8 mpg Nebraska to chicago
    about 600 miles
    I am not trying to be a smart ### either but does anyone on here know how to figure out things for themselves
    it never appears that way

    I started this thread to find out if anybody else ever experienced the same problem. But I will try using my "mind computer" to solve this problem, thanks for the help.

    I do know how to figure out my fuel mileage. Just wondering if anybody could help me figure out why my qualcomm is way off.

    ...so why take your frustration out on him? He's a rookie and will learn soon enough. It's common sense to you but he's not there yet...give him a break...and ya, I'm sure we've all dealt with turnips in the office at one point in time...:yes2557:

    I think my original question was a fair one. 2 to 3 miles per gallon doesn't make any sense, no matter how much weight im hauling(usually 40k+) or where im driving (midwest, east coast).

    But you have no idea what your actual is. I would suggest finding out that fact, and then consult your company about it. Most likely it is a flaw in their software, and they may be well aware of it explaining why your not being asked why you have such terrible mileage.

    However until you know your actual you have no basis for an opinion other than you do not believe it hence TA's response.

    Now if your worried about qcom giving bad numbers older units did it all the time because the parameters were never properly assigned by most companies.
     
    Vwal528 Thanks this.

    Your right, I regret posting without knowing what my actual is. even though im certain its higher than the qc says.
    Looks like im going to have to put the old "mind computer" to work.

    Ya know, I can ask to totally stupid question to a veteran driver at a truck stop, and get a polite, helpful response. But here, on an internet forum for Roehl drivers i'm told I can't think for myself. Thanks guys.

    Corporate doesn't really pay attention to that QC message anyway. They figure your monthly MPG by taking the total gallons pumped by the mileage you drove to get your score card entry.
