Are we all talking about the blank "button" on the right side of the steering wheel, clustered with all of the cruise control buttons?

Just finished my 1st full tank on a 2011 Touring and got 19.7 mpg with 60% city/40%hwy. I don't know how this compared to the computer display, but I'm pretty happy with that. Beats the 14mpg I was getting in my Sequoia.
