My car is loaded it gives me the exact mileage totals I even get the current temp.

Wow, that's horrible. Especially since the GA got 30+ highway.

Yes, my car has a temp reading as well as a mileage display; however, when I compute my mileage, the computer is wrong! It is usually 3-4mpg under what I actually got, and I've had it twice where it actually said I got 1-2mpg more. Going by the computer on the car is like listening to OJ when he said he didn't do it -- it's unreliable.
