Superchip Model 1705 and MPG Reading

Hi,
Does anyone know if theSuperchip Model 1705 has fixed the MPG reading in the cap. It is so annoying that it does not work. I installed the Towsafe level about a year ago and have been getting 18 to 19MPG by actual calculations on the highway and 15 to 16mpg in town, but the computer says 23. I have not reset the MPG reading in over a year and miles to empty seems fairly accurate, but the MPG is still off.

Great Forum!

Thanks for any comments

There is no fix. Some folks are lucky to have theirs semi-accurate when in stock form. Once you chip it or add a tuner, all bets are off.

about 6 months after i bought my truck; i look down at the gauge said that i was below empty, but the LieOmeter said that i had another 50 miles to empty, so i figured i had more than enough to get to a fule station, about 2 seconds later i ran out of fule while stopped at a red light, ever since then i have never trusted that thing.....

The lie-o-meter. When we had an excursion we were pulling a trailer with 4 sleds on it, it said we had 0 miles till empty with an 1/8 tank of fuel.
