1000 miles - so far so good!

Hit a 1000 miles today and so far no problems.

Fueled up today as well. I went 289 miles on 23.5 gallons for a whopping 12.3 mpg - hand calculated. The computer said 12.9 mpg. I have an 05 Explorer and that computer is always right on. Is there a reason why its off on the F-250? Can it be calibrated?

The "miles to empty" was on 20 when i filled up and it only took 23.5 gallons, so I guess there was 7 gallons left. Seems like an awful big reserve. The Explorer might have 2 gallons left when the miles to empty hits 0. That seems more reasonable. Anybody have any thoughts?

The truck might take a little breaking in b4 it gets the numbers right. The computer judges miles to 0 on past data I think.
